Not bad at all, especially with that oil pump.
> Oil Pump and filter screen
Ken Gillanders wrote a tech tip many years ago of reinforcing the screen by
looping some copper or stainless steel wire through the screen and around
the pickup tube. It seems to help keep the wire from breaking where it's
soldered to the tube; I assume by keeping the screen from vibrating as much.

Only for the felt in the rear main cap. I'd suggest Hylomar everywhere

Medium strength/blue.

Yes, the gasket will tear as you remove the filler block. Clean it up and
put some form-a-gasket in there.

Don't forget the felt for the rear cap. Obviously, I'd change the filter,
too.
