I've been dealing with the same problem and am planning on modifying both the pan and the oil pump pickup this winter. Same situation with OP dropping in left hand turns and under braking. The combin

Scott it's typical for that engine to want to starve out momentarily in left-hand turns, but the accusump should kick in if it does. It sounds like you have a decent baffle system. A few things to ch

Can you dry sump it? That should solve most of your oiling problems, I would think. John _______________________________________________ Support Team.Net http://www.team.net/donate.html http://www.f

Spoke with Sam Halkais [TR6 SCCA speed demon] on this issueas related to TR6. One of his suggstions may relate to Spitfires. He is more concerned with volume over pressure and therefore drills out th

Maybe I'm coming in the middle here, but I had a horrible time with #3 rod bearings in my 1147, even after putting in an accusump. I tried feeds to the galleries, accusump, cross drilling the crank,

That's what TR-4's do if the oil level's too low. When I see the (30 psi) oil light (BIG BRIGHT light) flickering on left hand corners, I know I'm a quart low. Of course, I generally don't wait until

What kind of valve is in the accusump? The newer electric ones seem to be restrictive. The manual ball valve is NOT restrictive. The old-style electric valves don't seem to be restrictive. What Glen

The electric accusump valves are restrictive in the fill direction-- the idea is to not rob pressure from the bearings during startup to fill an empty accusump. They flow more in the out direction. B
