Just wondering how good everybody's inverted oil systems are behaving?

Do you have any attitudes where you loose oil pressure? (knife edge , down lines)

Where is your erect oil pick ups , in the middle , or to one side ?

Are your inverted oil selectors bolted straight on the fire wall , or just at an angle to aid vertically up operation??

My pick up is on the right hand side of the sump and thus I loose pressure in a left knife edge!

I see some modify their sumps and move their erect oil pick up towards the middle? Anybody done this??

Or may a Sky dynamics sump is the answer, but for 4k is it worth it!!?!??

Ta!!

Neil
