Check valve is still there. That under the oil filter right?

How do you add extra to see about the pickup?

I dont know about the bearings. Only way to check them is tear down. am I right? willl an oil analysis prove anyhting?

And since you made me have a small stroke racing back to proof read what I said.. I'm going to post instructions on how to change your oil.

so Dirk, what do I look for when I add the extra oil. How much should it take when the stick is showing full?

I am assuming when I add oil, my pressure will come up IF my pick up is cracked or shot right? and if not I am back to square one. Oh, do i drain the extra oil out? I dont think it would be good having the overfilled oil in there.

and I do know about changing my oil thanks. HAHAHA!

If it shows full, add a quart at a time. I've only had to add 2 before seeing oil pressure increase. It honestly depends on where the problem is on the pickup tube.. if there even is one.

I don't remember off the top of my head, but I'd say at LEAST 18-20psi @ idle and in the high 40's to 60psi @ 2000rpm's.

I may be off, but I think I'm in the ball park.
