Tim,

Do you have any problem using this port with the oil going into pan instead of pressurizing the rest of the system? Or I wonder if your dry sump would act differently in this sense vs. my wet sump pump?

I pull the belt and use a drill to prime mine, plus I have a RHS block that has priority main oiling so it's a different kettle of fish. On stock blocks the lifter galley gets the oil first. I pull the oil plug on the pan and prime it until I get a good flow of oil out of the pan, I do all this on a dyno stand so it may not be so easy with it in the car.

I mounted mine just behind me on the tunnel in the car
Shutoff valve is right next to my seat.. I recently wrapped
the oil line with header heat wrap to help keep things cooler
but never really sensed any heat

Oil is NOT flowing into and out of this system.... it's only a in / out if it's needed - otherwise the oil is static. Only time it might heat up is if your car is needing the pressure during an event a few times (then something bad is going on!).
