Duty cycle? The check valve in the bolts opens at 28 psi, while the oil pressure spec is 36 psi mimimum at idle rising to 85 psi minimum at 3000 rpm with oil at 176 degrees F. It's true the oil could get hotter, but if so the engine and the oil pump will be spinning faster so should maintain 85 psi. So the jets spray all the time. The duty cycle is 100%.
I figured the check valves were to prevent oil draining out of the system when the engine is off.

If cooler oil translates to higher oil pressure for a given rpm (it should), I would think this would increase the duty cycle of the jets and keep them spraying when otherwise they may not be.

Thanks for the info. "marcucci" has been kind enough to send away for a set from Europe for me (about 35 bucks). I should have them in time for me to take off my oil pan during the S/C install.
There's nothing magical about the oil pan sealing goop, is there. The "book" says to use some kind of Honda sealer, but I've got tubes of ATV gasket making goop. Will that do?
