Oil Accumulator Solenoid Valve

Cdncarnut · 06-21-2024, 09:38 AM

I am installing a Moroso Accumulator in my stocker and am looking for a cheaper option than the Moroso or Canton solenoid valve to activate it.

Has anyone used anything else or are these two the most reliable options out there?

Thank you in advance.

My opinion having the Moroso valve, it's the best option. You could just use a ball valve and turn it on in the morning and off before shutting down at the end of the day. Cheapest option but not near as effective as pre-oiling at every start up.

Because it looks pretty under the hood?

I used a standard 12v oil compatible solenoid valve. No fuss, no muss. Available from any hydraulic supply company.

Because you can run a lower oil level in the pan and still be safe.
I don't believe in prelubing an in service engine, I'll start the engine with the valve closed then when the engine is warmed up slowly open to avoid a sudden drop in oil pressure and then leave the valve open the rest of the day

You must know something this world champion and his top in the class engine builder don't

Yep, no accusump, how does Tilburg do it?

and the emmons boys are known for wheelies and hard braking.

Nice job guys!

And that is why I did not answer your question...

And what would that be?
