RE: oiling problems...
I use an accusump in my mini racecar..it increases the oil capacity
three quarts and provides it under pressure. For a street car or
the absent minded, I recommend the solenoid shut off valve wired to
the ignition in lieu of the manual valve I use. I charge the
accusump gradually after an oil change, so as to keep the pressure
up.
The extra pressure/ capacity was useful this season once. During
the closing laps of a race the speedometor input piece vibrated
itself off of the transmission and I started losing oil....even
after losing 3 or 4 quarts, I still had ok oil pressure and suffered
no eng. damage. Of course that piece is loctited on now.
