That sucks.

I had the unfortunate opportunity to tear down my motor and discovered that after a year of road racing with an accusump, my rod and main bearings look great. This was quite a relief as I was still concerned at the low oil pressure I was seeing, and wondering if I needed an even larger one. So I heartily recommend it as a solution.

I'm debating whether to add baffling for my latest build, if only to reduce my reliance on the accusump. Right now I feel like I'm one broken solenoid away from an oiling disaster.
