Oil Pump Failures? Why does the pressure relief valve stick?
I always heard that when a lubricated part "sticks", it was due to a buildup of "sludge and varnish".
Anyone know for sure?

Re: Oil Pump Failures? Guess I'll just add a Pint of good ol' Marvel Mystery Oil to keep everything cleaned out so it won't stick. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />
