You have all Heard it, some say this or that works, others say it doesnt.. Accusump, deepsump etc. Iīm sure I donīt understand enough, but.. Are there any kind of consensus regarding the actual cause of oil starvation in track situations? If we cannot agree on the root cause then all solutions would be a guesswork.

If the oil pickup would always get a good supply of air-free oil, would all starvation issues then be solved? If yes, we know where to start, if no, then what?

I believe that the oil pickup doesnīt get enough air-free oil due to lack of oil return to the sump, so baffles will not help if the oil stays in the heads too long.
Connecting a drysump oil tank to feed the standard oil pickup/pump would feel like a reasonable thing to do, adding scavengepumps to suck the oil from the old sump back to the new oil tank.

Why not?
