The Pitts S2A has an inverted oil system. It runs indefinitely right way up, and runs indefinitely upside down, but put it on a knife edge (to the left I think) or do a nice vertical line and you may find the engine losing oil pressure.

The POH G limits aren't the be all and end all, a bit of common sense is sometimes required and a look at the oil pressure gauge wouldn't go astray when doing something out of the ordinary.
