Accusump - pros & cons

[1320racer]

Mcfly, it’s now the year 2024 and the vast majority of class racers and bracket racers have their engines built by professionals so you either ain’t got the coin or your arrogance eclipses your ego, seeking validation from a few old men like yourself wanting a merit badge for assembling your engines, setting a few clearances, assembling a few parts and torquing a few bolts who call that “building” their engines.

Well, at least I won`t need to ship my engine back to the "Big Name Profesional" if a spark plug wire falls off ! Or fly them if when the valves need adjusting.

Your attempt at humor is as bad as your attempt at spelling Mcfly

When adding an accumulator. Are you guys running the same amount of oil in the pan?

I add two quarts for the accumulator.

Robin, as the op of this post, I would like to thank you for your very
insightful posts. That is certainly the type of information that I, and I'm
sure other readers were looking for. You were very helpful with your
information, just as you have been when I've called you.

Thanks Again,

J.R.

Really, tell us what he said pro or con about using an accusump. You can't because he said NOTHING! Further he states and admits

So Robin like me, hasn’t used an accusump because he doesn’t have low oil pressure when decelerating and/or braking which is due to poor oil control.

That said, it’s obvious, you don't want advice, don't want opinion, what you want is confirmation of what you have already decided to do. Why? It’s your engine, your $ and no one really cares what you do!

Ed, Ed, Ed. You are replying far too early in the morning. Walk the dog,
have a coffee, relax, it's only January, we don't want you to burn out
early. We need this level of entertainment until early spring, then we
can cut you loose.
You keep mentioning my oil control problem. Guess what?? Don't have
one. I've run my car with less oil than I like to, never a problem. Oil
pressure gauge never makes a move, same when I download my data.
You asked me at the beginning of this thread, what band aid I was looking
for, and I told you then I was just being pro active. You just chose not to
believe me, so you continue the drama you desire. In the meantime, some
really good people have given their experiences, thoughts and ideas. I have
enjoyed the thread so far. I hope others have as well.

Regards,

J.R.
