Guys I've got a bit of an oil pressure problem in left hand turns.
Especially in left hand turns. I know the oil pick-up is not picking
up oil but air during this time. I tried making oil pan baffles with
some simple hinges to fold down if decelerating. Sort of trying to
dam-up the area near the pick-up. I even changed the pick-up by
making a new one and placeing it about 3/8 of an inch above the bottom
of the pan where it sucks only from the bottom of the pan not
sides...or end.
I now have a two quart accusump.
But, after several oil pumps nothing seems to help. I load an extra
1.5 quarts into the sump. I pray each time I get into a turn deeply
and turn in hard and accelerate. Pressure drops and stays low while
the accumulator empties and about three seconds later the pressure is
normal. I change the rod bearings after two races...and use Mobile 1.
any comments?

Any suggestions?
