glad you brought that up about the battery issue, slipped my mind. Thank You everyone for the input, maybe and sounds like I better just go with the regular starter... too bad this idea can't be improved, it's got the potential to being good in reality, with fine tuning so to speak

Garp is correct. They are prone to failure at a rapid rate. There are check valves and relays and wiring involved. The NHC builds OP in a very resonable ammount of time. I would say nay on it.

I'm not sure how you would apply it in the large diesel engine world but with smaller turbo gas engines they have air pressurized diaphrams that hold a certain number of quarts of oil at the last ran oil pressure. The basic kits have a manual valve on the end of a cylinder, the fancy ones have an electronic valve so it can be remotly opened.

If you could scale up something like this to better suit the capacity of a large engine it seems pretty neat.

if you install the spin-on filter like I have posted you will get oil pressure much faster than with the stock setup.

Hi JWaller, your link goes to a generic website displaying theater performances. I think somebody hijacked your website. I'm interested in your spin-on filter. Can you give website please?

I actually have an Accusump, brand spankin' new in the box, that I never used. I was going to put it on a SB Chevy project that had remote oil filters and an oil cooler. So plumbing it in would have been easy.

How difficult would it be to adapt the Accusump to the Multifuel in order to preoil it before cranking? Are there oil galleys available on the side of the block to tap into?

I would imagine you could plumb it in before the filter, but that's just a guess. I'm not sure if anyone makes an automotive style sandwich plate for these larger engines.

Another idea is looking at where the turbo oil supply comes from.
