Dry Sumps

[docevi1]

How do Dry Sumps work/what are they?

I'm assuming that the sump doesn't have oil in it hence the term Dry?

aha, so a Dry Sump engine doesn't actually have a "sump" then. There will be some form of pressure to the system as well one presumes?

It's just brought another question to light, why do wet-sumps exist? The parts needing lubrication don't enter the sump do they?

thanks for the reply answered one question
