Tommy, my comments about the accusump were relating to pre oiling the engine prior to starting, with the accusump you only have 3 or so quarts for this purpose, if for some reason the engine does not start, your setting on an extra 3 quarts in the pan, the crank might not like this?. The pre oil system I built
is an electric pump, plumbed externally from the pan to the engine, never using more than you have.
I'm looking into external oil pumps that replace the internal oil pump, they've been around a while, I'm just trying to get schooled.
