Internal combustion engine pre-ignition oil pump

A secondary pre-ignition oil pump system for an internal combustion engine comprising:

• a lubrication circuit for an internal combustion engine;
• a primary oil pump of said internal combustion engine;
• an oil sump that collects oil passing through said lubrication circuit;
• a primary oil-drawing conduit means that draws oil from said oil sump under a force provided by said primary oil pump;
• a secondary oil pump;
• a secondary oil-drawing conduit means that draws oil from said oil sump under a force provided by said secondary oil pump, said secondary oil-drawing conduit means being separate from said primary oil-drawing conduit means, whereby blockage of one of said oil-drawing conduit means does not affect drawing of oil through the other of said oil-drawing conduit means;
• a secondary check valve that ensures that oil flows in said secondary oil-drawing conduit means away from said oil pump;
• an oil filter adapter that receives oil from said primary oil pump and from said secondary oil-drawing conduit means;
• an oil filter that filters oil received by said filter adapter;
• a return conduit means that receives oil from said filter and returns received oil to said lubrication circuit;
• and
• a pressure sensitive switch that senses oil pressure in said primary oil-drawing conduit means and activates said secondary pump when the oil pressure in said primary oil-drawing conduit means decreases below a predetermined level, whereby the pressure sensitive switch is activated prior to the running of the internal combustion engine.
