Have been researching oil accumalators. Never ran one but then always ran blower motors ans just primed system with plugs out and spinning motor.
Seems there is side benifit of being able to run little less oil in pan and reducing effects of windage. Sort of poor mans simi dry sump. Good amount are claiming some et advantage to them mainly because of windage reduction. Since I have 10 quart pan and can easily get by with less I'm thinking I could run 7 in pan and 3 quart in accumalator. With pan I have dual trap doors and windage tray plus heads return straight to the pan below windage tray.
Anyone with reason this might be issue let me hear your thoughts.If you run or have run a accumalator let me know your thoghts or findings.

Chris I have been using a 2 quart Canton accumulator on mine but is more of a band aid for an oiling problem . I think I have it worked out and if the problem is fixed I will remove it .

Matt has recommended that I put one in but I just cannot find a place to put it.
