I'm considering using one, but after talking to a rep from the manufacturer, I'm not sure. The check valve that is recommended to be installed before the "T" fitting right before the oil goes back into the engine, poses as a flow restriction in the system (obviously).
They had mentioned that some drivers were seeing a significant drop on oil pressure with the check valve, so they removed it. Supposedly, oil will still make into the engine without the check valve, but I'm wondering how much (roughly, like half?) and if it would be enough to still be effective in the case of oil starvation.
Anyone who has one of these installed, has experience with these, or just experience with hydraulic systems in general is more than welcome to weigh in on this.
