We pick up more Dzus fasteners and tools than anything else every week.....still can't understand the timing pointer thing.
Riddle me this Batmen:
If you add an oil accumulator, and it "activates", where does the oil to re-fill it come from? (this is a rhetorical question)
Seems to me to be a zero gain deal.....you either starve it during the operation, or after, but any oil flowing from a wet sump pump is diverted to re-fill the accumulator anyway, seems like a waste of time/dollars for anything other than pre-priming the engine on startup.
How do you get the oil in the accumulator up to operating temperature?
I ran a stocker type pan with zero oil pressure in shutdown for years, and never scuffed a bearing.
Just lucky I guess? Of course, I let my stuff run pretty well flooded with oil, in regards to pump volume, clearances, and metering, not the way I'd run a class engine for HP.
