Absolutely!

Before I began racing, I used to see guys at the track routinely go under 
the hood, pull the distributor, then take a speed wrench or a cordless drill 
and pump up oil pressure (then have to re-set and static-time the 
distributor) before starting the engine. First thing I saw when I learned 
what an Accusump was, was the lack of any need to do that.

That was, oh, about 1980. I blew an engine in 1977 and another in 1980. 
Haven't really had an oil-related problem since. Oh, I've invented plenty of 
other problems since then, but adequate oil pressure, especially on startup, 
hasn't been one of them. Accusump is cheap insurance.
