should try filling the oil filter before mounting it.

Another point. After my no-oil pressure bearing failure, I decided to add

ProLong. Is

there now a better additive out there? I really like the idea of being

able to limp

home without the bearings sizing after oil loss.

Good luck Finn.

Hope you haven't been considering a 200 mpg carburetor, I think
they are made in the same factory.   ;-)

There is always a guy at OSH in the flymarket with an engine idling that 
has no oil pan. The operative word here is idling :-) There could be a 
hidden small oil pump somewhere.

In Finn's case his engine ran up to 10,000 RPM or so with no oil
and no load before it seized.
