Canton Solves Oil Pressure Problems

The In’s And Out’s Of Oil Pressure

Canton discusses a number different direct and indirect causes for oil pressure problems; everything from incorrect set up to incorrect installation can create oil pressure issues. There are even situations that cause oil pressure drops despite the correct parts selection and flawless execution. In these cases a Dry sump system or an Oil Accumulator such as the Accusump can prevent catastrophic engine failure.

Parts Selection Errors

The first step in the process is usually selecting parts. It is very important to understand what the engine builder is trying to accomplish and how the vehicle is going to be used. The oil pan, pump and pickup need to be selected together in order to operate properly.

Installation Mistakes

Proper installation of parts is important.  Mistakes that can cause issues can happen during the installation of the oil pan,  oil system accessories, or in plumbing external oil lines.

Incorrect System Capacity

Getting the capacity of your oiling system correct is essential.  Running your oil system under the target capacity can allow the pickup to become uncovered and create oil pressure problems.
