Wait what??

So now that the dust has settled and I am out of popcorn and beer, I am very curious as to why no one has mentioned Master Lube accumulator which also has engine pre lube as an option. Other than they don't pay contingency. I have been using this unit for over 15 plus years now and I believe it works great. Great people to deal with and very informative. Made here in the USA. They advertise in the National dragster. It works a little different from the piston type (Moroso, Canton) units. For what its worth, yes this saved my crank shaft and engine about five years ago. So I am curious to hear other opinions on this product. Also I will add that IMO regardless of what product you use, there is no down side to having an accumulator and pre lube set up on any engine other than adding a few valuable pounds.

Honestly I always thought this looked like a good product! I run the Moroso 1.5 quart accumulator which I’m happy with, mostly because I was able to install it in a lay down position which worked with limited mounting spots. I would also be curious to see who else likes the Master Lube deal.

Drew, I had one of those years ago and it worked well but having to mount it vertical was a problem so I moved to the Moroso simply for mounting convenience in my roadster. I gave the Masterlube to a Mopar racer buddy and he is still using it.

Question here, what’s the best way, in y’all’s opinion, to plumb back into system? Back above the pump or back to sump? I know it would need to be charged by the pump and a diverted valve to go back to sump on the second option. I feel it would be more beneficial for the oil pump to supply pressure than the accusump itself. Am I missing something or over thinking? You guys have been in this so long I’ll respect your ideas.

You do not plumb the Accusump back to the crankcase, it has a single line that goes from an oil feed passage, the oil stays inside the tank until the oil pressure drops to a certain point, and then the pressurized oil in the tank is back fed into the oil passages, and to the bearings and other components normally fed thru the engines oiling system. When oil pressure is restored, the presure fills the tank back up.
