Until then, what do you make of this? "At 4,000 RPM (with engine at normal operating temperature), 1.4L (1400cc) per minute of oil is transferred to the IMS bearing." How much oil is that in terms of oil lost to the critical components of the valvetrain? I mean, 1.4l, how bad is this JFP? To make this a non factor, do I now need a deem sump to offset?
Site post some other facts about the oil being cooled by the oil cooler which also sounds like a plus. But my question is on the 1.4l.

What you need to do is engineer the system; figure out how much oil is actually needed to properly lubricate and cool the bearing, and then design a system that provides enough clean oil and a safety margin without starving something else. Just throwing 15% of the engine's capacity at one bearing is not the answer, and can easily create new problems.
