Re: Accusump - pros & cons
Billy, despite those that have derailed this discussion with personal attacks on me and only replied to do so, it’s still a forum discussion where people reply with their opinion and my last post is relevant to the merit of using an accusump and yes, of course the OP as well as anyone else doesn’t need anyone’s approval nor their engine builder’s blessing to spend their money on their car to install whatever they deem necessary which begs the question why the OP even asked if he only wants to read opinions that are inline with decision to use an accusump, just do it!

I think this pretty much sums it up. An engine builder only sees what the dyno tells them. The user sees G’s plus and minus with angle. As mentioned before hard braking can throw oil forward away from pickup and wheelies can do the same. So many combinations out there it just depends on the car and combination. When used as a pre oiler after extended periods of sitting I think that's a great option all by itself. I don’t crank a motor after sitting for long periods , I remove the distributor and prime it. Some folks can get away with it, I can’t. |

Re: Accusump - pros & cons
I have an aftermarket moroso oil pan like thousands and thousands of racers, not custom and I have no greater "priority" oiling than a COPO, Drag Pak or Cobra Jet factory stocker has and most of them too do not use an accusump.

Re: Accusump - pros & cons
just a few of the thousands of stock and super stockers running without an accusump, some with engines built by some of the best, courtesy of Bobby's interviews...

Re: Accusump - pros & cons
as I already stated in post #9, nine days ago... band aid for an oil control issue, unnecessary cost, added weight, difficulty packaging/placement but lets stay with the thousands of stock racers, a few of which I showcased that don't run an accusump.
