Again, I have yet to have any professional engine builder tell me, suggest to me, that I need to use an accusump with their engine,
Maybe there are not that bright, still want to know who the these professional engine builders are. Or do they just exist in your mind?

There it is!! You run your engine a quart low?? Tell you why?? I need
much more information on your motor. Type, size, oil pan, any restrictors
any where in the motor, heads, etc. Cam size, mm not lift, overlap.
Oil pan manufacturers recommended oil amount, what you consider full,
to get 1 quart down. Rocker make, valve springs, ring set up, etc.
With most of those factors, I could attempt to answer your question.

Thanks,

J.R.

You don’t need any of that info to understand why.

Since he has all his engines built by big name professionals, he probably doesn`t know anything about the engines, except where to send the check to.

Mcfly, it’s now the year 2024 and the vast majority of class racers and bracket racers have their engines built by professionals so you either ain’t got the coin or your arrogance eclipses your ego, seeking validation from a few old men like yourself wanting a merit badge for assembling your engines, setting a few clearances, assembling a few parts and torquing a few bolts who call that “building” their engines.

Well, at least I won`t need to ship my engine back to the "Big Name Profesional" if a spark plug wire falls off ! Or fly them if when the valves need adjusting.

Your attempt at humor is as bad as your attempt at spelling Mcfly

When adding an accumulator. Are you guys running the same amount of oil in the pan?
