The more I learn, the less I know.

It seems that the only way to be sure of maintaining oil pressure (to the largest extent) is to use an EPC-based Accusump system. Anything less will leave open a window of uncertainty. Baffles, windage trays, deep sumps, etc. are all steps in the right direction but they don't seem to guarantee what an Accusump can.

The other concern not yet mentioned in this discussion is oil temp and film strength. It appears to be critical to never let the oil get too hot. Thus, I am looking into a data logging system that can provide temp alerts and possibly an external oil cooler.

I'll have to continue researching these subjects. Right now, not exactly sure what to do.
