Pre-oiler question

Simple and effective in my experience.

With Accusump you get both, from their website -
Our Accusump Oil Accumulators deliver oil before starting to eliminate dry start scuffing (pre-oiling) and discharge oil during low oil pressure surges to protect against engine damage during demanding racing conditions.

I think most pre-lubers fill that dual roll, but if pre-oiling is all you want then the 1 QRT accumulator is sufficient (more than enough actually).
