My 'other' sporty type car is a Jensen Healey. The engine in a Lotus 907, which had quite a reputation for lack of upper end lubrication on startup. Many owners, as evidenced by their testimonies on th JH webpage, have resorted to installing a pre-oiler. These are no uncommon on mofdified engines, or those with simalr reputations to the Lotus. It consists of an electrically operated pressurized oil can which sits in the engine bay, that, when signalled at pre-stat, injects presurized oil into the engines galleries. One may sit in the driver seat and watch oip pressure climb to 70ps1 before starting the engine. This is a comforting thing to see when one has been used to seeing no pressure on the gauge for 4 to 5 seconds post-start on a high priced Lotus engine.
If you want I can dig up the links.
