[AT] Super MTA oil pressure

[Robert L. Holtzer]

Based on my experience with an M and H, you should get enough to make a 
mess if you leave the valve cover off too long while running the 
engine.  The rocker arm shaft should be cleaned out and the various holes 
cleaned if you have not done so.  The excess oil should start within a few 
seconds of starting the engine, especially with the oil pressure you have.
