I do have a horror story to add... my flathead in the process of diagnosing the zero psi oil pressure I went through everything step by step and posted to the FTE forum over and over.. well when I pulled half the oil pump out it piddled 1 tsp of oil and I thought nothing of it, reassembled it all after cleaning and checking tolerances and the wail it made would make a banshee blush. Tech note: if you ever pull the oil pump, prime it with vasaline in those old flathead girls.
The old aluminum Buick/Rover V8's are like that too.
