Thanks Art,
I run an Alky funny car and pulling chutes starves
oil supply for a second or so starting me wondering about other engine types and ways to fix. I started installing the just red warning light on engines and found the light would flicker under HARD driving conditions like square corners or hard braking with wet sump engines even with trick pans etc.. I always put the accusump design oilers on these engines but control was just a manual ball valve. So went back and started to find ways to make them fool proof or automatic and this is final design. I went a few steps farther to make electronics that delay key start signal activate pre-oiler and engine does not turn over until pressure is at a minimum set point. Put all this on wifes car and worked all the bugs out much to her delight. Final word was play with my own toys and leave hers alone other then simple Must Do's.!
The system dumps 70 to 80 % on all pre-oils but does have provisions for 100% on
oil change. The wife model is all electronic and works by turning key with everything invisible to her. The racers want their own buttons and only some features are automatic. Went so far as copyright and patent but have never marketed. I have one for turbos and shut down problems of coking the
oil . Have another for BIG equipment that also extends service intervals plus pre-oils.
