Yes we did go through this a while back but power required to drive
the pumps was not discussed that I saw. Hence my question. It appears
that the actual numbers are hard to get or nobody has them (which I
doubt). Positive oil pressure during shutdown is the real reason I
would consider a dry sump. Windage problems will happen with or
without. Do I really need one? I could check the rod bearings on the
cap end to see couldn't I?
