Vector1,

I am also not a fan of Accusumps. I found that they do not provide enough flow in a oil pickup starvation event to do any good. The dynamics do not work quick enough.

For pre oiling I suppose they have benefit but I do not think they really cover this area well either. Piston skirts and cam lobes are the real problems on start up and I think that they do not provide enough oil at a high enough rate to cover these items.

But some may disagree and I could be quite wrong.
