Hi.  Can anyone help with my Accusump problem?   I have just built a racing Jensen Healey, 2 race meetings( in the UK) so far and same problem both times.  I have a manually switched 3qt Accusump, plumbed straight into the main gallery, which seems to function fine.  However, if I use anymore than an extra pint or so of oil it is thrown out thro' the breather, any less than this and I suffer pressure drop on turns.  This problem is not apparent at road speeds where oil pressure is steady 60psi plus when hot.   Is the accusump too big?? with the Accusump charged the oil doesn't register on the dipstick, but Accusump empty then it is way over full.
Any ideas??
