This whole thing scares me.. Wow can you imagine if any of these devices failed.. Over all the years of owning 911 flat sox engine only saw 1 hydro lock and that was after 2 years sitting.. We rotated the engine backwards and all was good.

Just a thought. During the off season. why don't you pull the plugs and crank the motor for a minute? It would squirt out any oil in the cylinders and pump some oil to the tank. Take a before and after measurement of oil in the tank. Repeat? Maybe if you did this frequent enough you could get away with just disabling the ignition and cranking the engine. Or leaving the plugs loose for the season and doing this every few weeks? Idk the pumping rate of the oil pump at start up. Well hell, maybe you could just start it up every few weeks and put a fan on... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Wilhoit says that the flapper is held closed by a very light spring and will open if the spring breaks. They emphasize that valve failure cannot cause oil starvation.

I’m tired of the smoky start up and associated ills. Installing mine sooner than later.

Horizontal installation only. Approved for water, oil and gas to 150psi. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Not really so good when you add acceleration (either lateral or longitudinal depending on what direction you orient it). That’s why it says horizontal installations only because it can’t handle gravity. Swing checks are never really a tight shutoff either.

Interesting but I have to ask; wouldn't the flow of oil keep the gate open no matter the imposed G forces? And wouldn't a good American made check valve, not a cheap import, with an ASME WOG rating seal well? Not testing you. I realize you're an engineer and I but a plumber.

I’m always hesitant to place anything in the oil feed line as it’s function of providing a good oil supply to the pump is critical. But I have had the car look like I’m fogging the neighborhood for mosquitos after sitting for an extended time.
