Sounds like a filter or screen before the oil pump would keep 'stuff' out of the pump and increase the chances the internal valve stays clean ..
Thanks for the good info!

[quote]There is an internal "valve" in the oil pump which may remain open. Jill of M14P, Inc. did an excellent article in one of the recent issues of the RPA magazine about this problem. See the Fall of 2009 issue, page 15 attached. If this valve remains open even slightly, oil will drain from the oil tank into the engine which may cause the hydraulic lock. Although Jim Kimball's oil shut off and drain kit are outstanding, the root of the problem is internal to the oil pump.
