Subject:      Cold-start up oil issue..a solution
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="Windows-1252"


  If you are concerned about minimizing 'dry' wear on engine startup, or
perhaps use your Syncro at silly angles on rugged terrain, you may want to
install one of these accusumps.  I had them in my racecars.  They are pretty
simple and an elegant solution to the short period of time when you first
fire up, or if for any reason you uncover your oil uptake.
  I suggest using the electric switched model, the one that activates as you
switch on the ignition.  Essentially, it 'pushes' 2-5 quarts of oil through
the oil galleries, pre-oiling the bearing surfaces before you turn the motor
over.
