Glad to help, especially on a subject I know little about!  You mention 
Barney, and one of the first things I recall from joining the MGS list was 
Barney's account of oil starvation at high revs (in his MGA), because the 
pick-up was too close to the sump bottom and stopped pulling oil through at 
very high suction rates.  Just a warning, reading the bit below, the Rover 
V8 oil system *is* classed as a high flow system (rather than a high 
pressure one).
