Vortech Air Assist

Hey im just started mounting my T Trim and the oil feed is roughly 4 o'clock position.Will I need to buy a air assist to help spraying the oil or will just the oil pressure be adequate?
Thanks

Mine's probably around 4 oclock too. Been like that for 7 years and no oil related issues.

You have ample oil pressure there to feed the gears. Not actually sure what the point of the air assist is.
Seems it's more to create a spray of oil, rather than just a jet between the gears themselves.
So is maybe more aimed at providing more oil to the bearings or something.
