You can verify oil circulation by taking off the oil filler cap while
the engine is running and look at the oil flow around the lifters.
You can check for sludge on top, the same way. You can check for
sludge on the bottom by pulling the lower oil pan. Generally if
there is no sludge on top, there will be none on the bottom.
THe system is generally foolproof. I'd put a T in the oil sender
line near the oil filter, and mount a second oil pressure gauge under
the dash.
Does anyone know if there is another location where an oil pressure
line can be tapped into to install a pressure gauge?
Is there anyway to verify the pump is properly circulating oil and
not gummed up sucking on sludge? Without tearing the engine down?
