Robert - say more about dual oil pumps? 
==========================================================
With dual nearly everything I looked for weak links and wondered about a loss of oil pressure.  Also wanted to pre-oil the engine before starting so I installed an electric oil pump in series.  It pre-oils great - and floods the turbos with oil - so it's not a good plan for use without a scavange pump running.  It would be useful as a backup for dropping oil pressure but I need to re-plumb and rewire so that it is used only when the Chelton/GRT shouts a warning.  More stuff to do this autumn.
