[Fot] Accusump

[Fubog1]

 I'm in complete agreement here, the average race car system has a lot of
volume to fill, hoses, filter, cooler, before it builds up pressure.
Another point that should be mentioned, it is SOP on any race car to pull
plugs & spin it over for oil pressure before the first start of the day.
Obviously the accusump does away with that...

I really doubt that residual oil is sufficient, for the same reason: These
are
babbit bearing, not rollers. They require oil under pressure to work. A
residual film doesn't do much, and under the weight of the crank it drains
away to nearly nothing in a short time. The oil passages seem to do a good
job
of draining too. Without an accusump there is always a few seconds waiting
for
the oil pressure to show.
