Does the oil route after the sump affect things ? As I understand it oil passes through the filter after the sump and this acts as a kind of small 'reservoir' for short dry periods (non return type). Obviously anything more than a couple of seconds of sucking air is pretty bad.
Also why don't road engines have dry sump systems ? Seems like less fuss.
