[QUOTE="customcreationsllc, post: 935274, member: 21026"] I too have never seen a rock crawlers use dry sump. How long do those bearings last without oil? I guess you wouldn't be building a lot of HP with the tires barely on the ground. At first I was thinking of using an accusump but you still need oil pressure to fill it, there only good for max 60sec. When you're crawling sideways. there cannot be much oil getting to your bearings. A normal drysump would just drown the engine in 4 gallons of oil. So I thought just put one of the scavenge sump pick-ups on each side of the valve cover will replenish the oil tank. I'm just think of longevity of the motor. To me it would be worth the extra money to know I'm not going to starve my engine, the extra money spent would be saved from not having to rebuild the motor. So the question is will I burn out a stage of the pump if no oil is getting to it? Just like if you didn't even have one of the stages hooked up. I couldn't this engine has any oil pressure there.
