I am not convinced that an Accusump is necessary, as I know of engines that have done 300,000 miles and have given no problems with a normal oil system, my thoughts are that an engine has a certain amount of oil on the bearings/other surfaces etc which still does its job on startup, until the surge of oil from the pump arrives, which takes a few turns of the starter. Is there any supporting evidence of its value, or just something else to add weight and expense to the vehicle build?
