Judson did a good job on the motor, but, he did a good job the first time too. I had an accusump on it when it went south the first time, but, I didn't react in time to the loss of oil pressure. When the oil adapter blew off the pump damn quickly pumped out the oil from the sump, and, because it was the adapter and how we had the accusump plumbed the accusump pushed 3 qts out lickey split too. 6-7 quarts of oil on the straight and about a 30 minute cleanup. I felt bad, and felt worse when they sent a $140 bill for all the oil dry.
Now the accusump is plumbed to the main gallery like it should be and we've got good fittings throughout. Hot oil pressure, and I mean hot, doesn't drop below about 25 psi at idle which is damn good for a 9XX motor. At 2500 RPM we'll get 50psi at least even when toasty. My old Lotus Esprit routinely got down to 10-15psi at 185F and lower when hotter at idle. On the dyno we have good oil temp, cool water temps in the 170F range even with long steady pulls, and oil temp in the 180F range or a tad higher. I like what we have now and feel we're safe.
I hope we can do some winning with the car, but we're far behind on the development and there is a lot of tough competition in the class. The Jensen can do okay in the open production rules enviroment that leans toward old British iron, but in a modern class like ITS it is a tough road to hoe because the rules set is not nearly as open. But, we're down the road and here we go!!!! I'll keep you posted and thanks for posting, it is good to know there are fellow Jensen folks around.
