With my dry sump pump pulley and nut hard to get at, and having to take the belt off to hand turn the pump over to prime the engine this would be a hassle. I am not keen on fitting a one way valve on the main oil gallery feed line for an Accusump.

Another saying by McDonnell Douglass is each time you start and engine it is equivalent to a 500 mile trip, that might be with an aeroplane. My road car has been started est 10000 times and at 500,000k, probably on that basis this car has done 5 million more than the speedometer shows. Food for thought, it is better to have an overkill in Lubrication than not enough.
