Yeah, there is likely very tweaky subtlety in there. A cut-off valve 
cover and the motor run to 3000 would probably tell me.

There is a cast lip, what, 3/8"? high, that contains 90% of the oil. THe 
seal immersed would probably leak like crazy, and from a service POV, a 
piece of gasket crap partially blockign a drain hole esp. in back would 
make a real mess.

I will look at this on the new motor, but am now unlikely to touch the 
one in the car. Hopefully I can get the stock oil pump drilled out for a 
remove full-flow filter and skip this crap.
