Hi owdlvr, it will drain in that position right enough, as mine does, but ive never worried about it, and ive used similar setups on various cars over the years, all i do is turn it to my advantage by changing the oil every race, as you should really any way, and i just need to pull the sump plug. i dont find any wear problems with just a normal gentle start up anyway, even with a sump full of oil, with 2/1 scavenge ratio the tanks back to normal in no time, the oil filter keeps the engine pressured, i used to run a large diesel oil filter for that reason, but i found even that un neccassary, as i said, i dont see a problem with a carefull start up if you have to lay the car up for a week, thats about how long mine takes to empty to the sump with the 8 ltr's i run. valves and accusumps etc are added weight and complexity to me, so are a big no no in my book.
