Default Accusump ???

Rick Lake/Double Ugly

For a pre-oil 1 qt unit, doesn't the oil pressure back down once the accusump equalizes pressure with the engine at startup? How long does that take and is that the "pressure issue" that concerns folks, or is there additional concerns after pre-oil?

I'd really like to use the smaller unit for pre-oil, but the pressure issue concerns me as well. For g force racing issues, it would seem to my humble knowledge that the unit would require a tremendous amount of pressure to accomplish what is required in such a short amount of time.

I'd like to use an accusump for both problems, but my gut says the pre-oil might be the safest route, as the response time (10-15 second before start) seems to render the pressure issue moot.

I'm probably missing something here, so please educate me.

Thanks to all. You folks are far better than TV.
