Jerry Clayton I am unsure of your rants with some silly things you have said
You think ALL motors are the same except for the valve covers?? All oiling systems preform the same way for all motors? You think a center oiler motor is just as good as a side oiler ?? You think a Ford motor has a better oiling system than the LS series?? Until the last 5 years, anyone could beat Pat Musi, lets not go there. I have seen enough poorly built motors break from that garage. Top Fuel and Funny cars, look at Rampage rail and funny, worked the bottom end in the 70's, so what, You don't see accusumps on road race cars because they are DRY SUMP in most CLASSES. There are classes where DRY SUMPS are not allowed, I have seen guys running the accusumps on those motors.
You have a ton of QUALIFICATIONS and that's nice. Most people on this forum looking for info on how to extend the life span of there motors and still beat the balls of them. You don't like accusumps, OK but to some people here this is a cheap way that may save a motor if setup right. Do you think that 80% of wear and tear is done on startups? I have run the same bottom end for 8 years, no bearing problems or failures. Cheap eagle rods for an FE motor, started with .0021" ended with .0023" after 8 years of racing. The broken rocker shafts took my
oil pressure from 75 psi down to 25 psi. A FE will not live long on this kind of pressure. I am sure with your engineering mind it should not be hard for you to figure out that there was little to no
oil pressure to the rockers. If not for the extra 3 quarts, rod or main bearings would have been burnt or welded to the crank or worse. I run a HVHP
oil pump with 100 psi spring, It takes my motor 20 seconds to fully recharge the accussump after racing. I vary the air pressure in the bladder side of the tank. I run #12 lines. We build 2 different motors, yours are screamers and high rpm, mine are endurance motors that run for years with minimum maintainance. IMO and just trying to help and suggest a cheaper way of helping a person who at this time doesn't want to add a drysump system to his car. Have a nice evening Rick L.
