Well, as long as the engines weren't in a hard-turning position, I'm sure that is correct.
Hmmm... not in any way i'm aware of. Then again, it IS Lotus ... crazier things have happened.zvezdah1 said:Ace wouldn't the addition of the second oil cooler help with oil feed?

I wasn't aware of the new oil pan design. If that's true, i'm sure it couldn't hurt. Baffle? Windage tray?ConeFusion said:I thought Lotus was using a different oil pan to avoid potential oil starvation?
I had never read up on the Accusump before, just checked their web site. Looks like a complete system would cost about $300+? I'll be interested to see your installation, it looks like it shouldn't be too hard.
I read that for the Toyota engine to meet U.S. requirements it had to run a test simulating 120,000 miles without breakdown. -ridgeman-zvezdah1 said:HI All,
From SELOC, quite interesting, I'd also been told this by a couple Lotus people. They did the longevity testing for the US market. Heard the Rover K didn't hold up quite so well!!

Talked to a dealer technician today. He told me that Lotus had had 12 Toyota VVTL-i engines running for 1 week, 24 h a day without stop, at 8500 rpm.
No problems whatsoever with any of the engines.... They all just kept running....
True or just a Lotus marketing trick?
