Post Oil Accumulator, anyone use them?
Do any of the racers use an external Oil accumulator to prevent oil surge on corners? Or do you modify the internal baffles at all?

Cheers

Harley

Harley,
iirc, the Visa engine is prone to oil starvation on long, fast corners, but the 602 isn't...

Road test by a car mag on a turbo'd Visa engine from some years back?

ken.

Haha Viking! you just want me to keep buying Visa engines off you!!!

Cheers Ken, i think an accumulator would be a worthwhile investment, it even pressurises the oil system on startup :)
