Well, this thread was an interesting read. I read something somewhere about the oil pump problem, and the gentleman advised to just add another quart of oil. I did, and it cured it. Now, some might say "that's too much oil and dangerous." If so, please explain as I am not a mechanic, but can learn the stuff pretty easily with a good teacher.

What did you all do before the mod? Just listen to tappet noise every where you went? I'm not trying to shoot any ideas or mods down, but apprently this problem was around for years. What did people do to deal with the problem all that time?
