What is the pumping rate of the oil pump? Accusump typically has 3 qts under
about 60psi.

I wonder if the pickup sucks air -- which drops the pressure -- but now you
are shipping around aerated oil as well as your pressure drop?

I wonder if there is something to temperature, aeration, and oil starvation
that comes into play at the same time.
