[QUOTE="ericg, post: 87406, member: 160"] I did fit an anti sumping valve on my Norton Commando about 27 years ago along with an oil pressure gauge just to be sure oil is on its way. Done 50000 miles since then and my engine is still going strong with exactly the same oil pressure as in 1990. No oil pressure on a Vin so I made a tell tale clear pipe on the return line just before the oil tank of my Norvin, same principle as the Egli design, so I can see if oil is circulating as it should past the Conways valve. It works just great so far after about 20000 miles. Even if my experience taught me that an ASV can be totally reliable, I wouldn't recommend to fit one without a mean to check if oil is circulating without having to look into the oil tank.
