Check this link from the paddock. Seabird had oil pressure issues before getting to test it out properly.

I talked with Seabird on the phone this morning.
He was at the track again last weekend.
The oil pressure problem related to new Accusump installation was cured.
His data indicated that oil pressures and temps stayed within the desired parameters through two on-track sessions on a hot Florida day.

I'm starting production of the pressure relief assemblies this week.
Price is $74.95, delivered.
They won't be on the website right away but I've provided a shopping cart button in my Whats New at Tangerine Racing Products thread in the Member Vendor forum.

What are the "desired parameters"?

Chris,

Does this completely eliminate the high pressure bypass for the oil cooler, or just require high(er) pressure before bypass?

I have witnessed one blown oil cooler at the track due to low temps and too high of revs too soon after startup.

Stu,
The stock relief circuit doesn't ever prevent full pressure to the cooler.
It simply allows oil to take a shorter path when the pressure is high.

My assembly completely eliminates the cooler bypass, and increases the pressure where excess oil is bypassed directly to the sump.

Chris! Thanks for the tip for removing the 12 pt socket from the side of the case with a 3/8" extension! That worked perfectly. Now, speaking of that valve, will it still be needed with this new modification?

Chris,

I am running an external oil coller with a sandwhich plate oil filter adaptor. Will this result in more oil taking the external oil cooler pathway?

I've been running my race engines with the secondary relief blocked off completely.
Since many engines were produced without it, I tend to think it isn't really necessary.

It won't have any effect on oil flow to an external cooler through a sandwich plate.

Would this be a beneficial add to a stock motor internally?

If you are experiencing high oil temps/low oil pressures - yes.

Ordered one.
I think my car has (or has had) just about one of everything Chris makes except the exhaust.

Nothing but quality stuff from Chris. It is a love hate relationship. Love the stuff but hate you can't buy every part he makes!

Showing my ignorance here, I try and not spend a lot of time under the car:
Can the install be done with the engine in the car? From pictures I've found the valve seems to be to the right of, and pretty much even with the lower edge of the oil pump. Is there room to swing a ratchet wrench and remove/install the mechanism without fouling the bodywork or something?

Thanks,
Harvey
