CIN - what does that mean in this context?
[quote=jfk]Not disputing owt else but pulling 1g would only equate to laying the engine at 45 degrees … Draw a force diagram and the resultant vector would be a 45 degree angle not 90 degrees.

Maybe there’s some lessons to be learnt from the likes of Landrover - their engines are designed to be run at such angles without having to resort to baffled sumps or Accusumps.
Yeah, let’s all use Freelander engines

Best tell my other half that
Landrover experience lost a Freelander engine one day at Eastnor :whistle:
What is it with you and other peoples cars 
I hope Avis dont read these forums …

It’s a big estate and those woods are wild 
If there’s no oil at the pickup point then does it matter what the revs are?

In very very basic ternms, at low revs the oil pump picks up less oil so the system can keep up, at high revs the oil pump is working overtime, picks up much much more oil so the end result is no oil to pick up.
Come on guys it’s starting to sound like Seloc…Range Rover BS…
Use a baffled pan or stash money for a new engine it’s just that simple.
How do you know that he’d regularly checked his fluid levels ?? You don’t , all this crap becomes urban legend, baffled sumps…BOLLOCKS !!!

Each to their own dude, just giving my opinion.
Well, there’s been a lot more posted on this topic than I thought there would be. I think the general concensus is that it’s worth doing and I’m going to have it done.
Thanks all.
The Accusump could save your engine from failure due to low oil pressure!
Operation is very simple. The Accusump is charged by the engines oil pump and releases more oil into the engines pressurised oil system when it detects a drop in oil pressure. Once the pressure in the system returns to normal, the Accusump takes back the oil it has added - ready for next time.
With the Accusump fitted, your engine has a consitant flow of pressurised oil to critical components while the engine is being used in circumstances where oil may move away from the oil pump - i.e. long, fast cornering on track or during fast road use.
As I said …
Yes but the accusump costs more takes up space in the boot adds weight and adds more things to go wrong a baffled sump is simple.
And half a job at best, and weighs oz’s not lbs
Oi , Podger.
Your avatar is really starting to bug me
I’m here to please and annoy as much as possible :whistle:
Both is best well apart from using a dry sump
Listen to yourself - as of late you have been one of the main “selocers”!!!
Just take a chill pill and let other people have their own view and opinion and if you disagree, do so respectfully please
