Hi Okie!
Thanks ever so much for the real nice pictures and parts manifests. You Da Man!

One question for you regarding the Accusump install....

As you show it in your diagram, the Accusump would be plumbed into the top of the oil filter bracket. If that is so, when it discharges oil (to pre lube) what would stop the oil flow from flowing back thru the oil pump and into the sump?

This has always been nagging at me regarding the pre-oiler. It seems to me you want the oil to go in one direction only. If that is true, then is not some sort of check valve needed?

If this question sounds negative, it is not meant to be. This aspect has just puzzled me. Perhaps I do not know enough about the oil flow "directionality" of the oil filter bracket?

Thanks
