    Have you cut the oil filter apart? Might be telling!

    Jack, very interesting read about the pickup, and as I read it I was thinking that I remembered seeing/reading about the bypass feature before but had totally forgotten about it. Thanks for taking time to find & post that info, and no it is an OEM replacement Melling pump.

    Yes Mike, I did cut the filter apart and it had absolutely nothing in it. I pried off the top and bottom retainers and unfolded the accordion fold and found nothing but dirty paper.

    I'll be talking to Scot Sehr this morning to see what he recommends that I do at this point. I'll play with the oil pump a bit more, too, to try to figure out why it's binding when the bolts are tightened. The whole thing is a head scratcher for me.

    Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.
