Great solution that kills two birds; great oiling and little crankcase pressure.
My last hoped-for project was going to be a Moroso vacuum pump but I wasn't smart enough to figure it; space for the pump, drive system, etc.
Always wanted vacuum for ring seal and all the other benefits.
Dry sump would have been nice too but again, logistics weren't good. Plus I didn't really need it at only 550HP.
