Wilf:
You really do think things out don't you? Nice touch on the reflective covering. It does get darned hot under the hood of a big block here in the summer so heat is an issue for sure.
Thanks for the tip on the check valve. Again you have done your homework.
In operation, do you see the engine pressure rise on you
oil pressure gauge when you are pre-oiling the engine before start? If so, how high does it go?
So it seems here are the parts....
Accusump
Selinoid Electic Valve
Mounting Brackets and heat shield if necessary
Tee fitting for AN line
AN line to Accusump from Tee with fittings
Check valve on one side of tee toward wet sump side of engine so as to not pressurize the wet sump
Switch for Selinoid and wire.
Did I miss anything???
An operational question for you....
With 3 quarts in the Accusump, does that mean you are 3 quarts shy in the wet sump
oil pan? This has always puzzled me for as the Accusump is charging up with the high
oil pressure and then if you flip the switch and "capture" the oil in the Accusump, would you not be 3 quarts low in the wet sump?
Maybe Im thinkin too hard.... I smell clutch burning.
