And a check valve will need to be designed so the oil don't drain out of the system every time you shut it off.

If you're going to try this, remeber that your first attempt will be a failure and you will pop the engine. Learn from that and maybe the second attempt will work.

Gary Busey and Rick James both used to live in my shop. Redline stole them.

Ever try to figure out the check ball arrangement for oil bleed-back? This is the biggest bug-a-boo (really Bird Man, this is not a cuss word).

Let me tell you, the factory's skunk works blew a few up trying this mod before getting it right.
