When the engine is running the Solenoid Valve is open and oil is forced into the tank. As the back pressure equals the engine oil pressure it stops entering the tank.
And when the key is turned off the Solenoid Valve closes before oil can escape the storage tank.
The next time you turn the key on the pressurized oil from the Accumulator is returned to the oil galley to pressurize all the bearings just as though the oil pump was running, even if it was months since the last time the engine was operated.

What is the estimated install time? Where does the accumulator plumb into the system? Is there any way to direct the pressurized oil to the front journals of the crank and rods which are the last to be pressurized by the oil pump? I need 2 by the way!

Usually they tap into the boss for the oil pressure sender with a tee. Anywhere there is a tap you could run the hose.
Install time is as long as it takes to mount the cylinder, tap into a switched lead to open/close solenoid with either switch or key operation and then tie into oil system. Very simple and basic system with great results and longevity.
Email me at [email protected] with any other questions or concerns.
Thanks,
