I know about the lack of scavenge pumps on bank1 (front) and bank2 (rear) so I guess it´s in my case oil pooling in bank2 so the pickup sucks air. Since adding scavenge pumps is very expensive and a bit complicated maybe, I believe my options are:
1) Deep sump
2) Accusump

Since the deep sump is far easier to install than the accusump, this is what I´m leaning at.

So, am I goint in the right direction? I´m looking at the FVD deep sump, are those extra 0.6 litres really enough to make a difference? Any advices from you guys?


I have the FVD pan, It comes with a X-51 style metal baffle & doors. It's a quality part. I run DT-40 oil & don't have any issues
