Title: Dry sump system
Post by: Johnnie on August 09, 2017, 21:41:53 pm
Hi

I'd like to get some feedback from guys running dry sump systems.
My question is cold start up oil pressure is there any handy way of building oil pressure besides removing the plugs
And turning over the engine until pressure is up.
Is there any system that can be fitted so sort this out its a bit of a pain!!!

Pressure accumulator with a solenoid (for a in-cab button) release.
One option I've used on other stuff.

Accusump does it

On a side note: On my dry sump stuff I always pre heat oil in tank, never try starting it with cold oil
