[AT] Super MTA oil pressure

[charlie hill]

Dick,  I can't tell you about the M engine but on my Allis engines you wish
you were not standing near them.  They sling oil everywhere.  No gussher but
more like a wet dog shaking.  Sounds like you have an oil passage cloged on
the way to the valve train.
