To my knowledge my oil pump drive shaft has never been modified or replaced. Does this mean I am relatively safe, or is this something I should be worried about?
You're safe. Unmodified Clevelands don't have a problem in this area (the valves and rod nuts are another issue however)
I don't believe the R code/Q code oil screen has a hole in it, only the earlier - flatter oil screen. Melling #M84-AS1 oil screen (aka an oil pick-up or an oil pump suction line) is a duplicate of the R code/Q code high volume oil screen. There's a pic of this oil screen in my 351C photo album.
Or am I showing signs of senility again?
