Gentleman,
To all those on the list that have/ are currently running an engine oil
accumulator (Accusump or alike).
I am seeking information from those of you using this item. Specifically, as
to how it has been plumbed into the oil system. I realise that there will be a
number of variations on the theme, with various pitfalls and limitations on
each method.

At present I am contemplating fitting an Accusump to my engine during 'this'
rebuild and therefore was considering the different approaches to plumbing
this unit in, and what, if any, would be the 'best'.

I guess there is only one of two ways to achieve this as I see it: -
1. Plumb into Sandwich Plate/Oil Cooler/Remote filter line and fit one way
valve into system.
2. Plumb Directly into cylinder block either through existing oil gallery
plugs around camshaft and/or drill new holes for oil feed point during engine
rebuild.

I am sure that we have a great deal of expertise on this matter on the list.
Thank you in advance and looking forward to you knowledge and assistance.

Kind Regards
Peter Vucinic
