Ron,
You said: "With a dry sump all you would have to do is turn on the
oil pump under the reservoir tank prior to starting your engine. "
I am not familar with this system. Could you give some details please?
I can see a great benefit to this. By using a electric prime pump, you could indeed pre lube the engine. But the plumbing and check valves needed might be a bit difficult
If you have a source for this part of the system, I would be quite interested. (It would save me a bunch of design/development time.)
Thanks in advance.
