Guys (Lubrecon and Bob P), the thing about the accusump and start-up wear...and this isn't a smart-assed question, just curious: Where does the "majority of wear at start-up" occur? As an engineer and auto enthusiast, I'm guessing it occurs at the rings, not the bearings...but has anyone actualy quantified where the wear occurs? Now, as I understand it, the accusump only oils the bearings and other areas that receive pressure lube, so does the accusump "really" help at start-up, if the primary wear points are at the rings and cylinder walls?
