Hi Paul, I cut it open the other night, tipped out the remaining dirty oil and everything looked the same as Dave's. The ADV was there and intact, so I dunno.
Anyway I'm glad that its fixed itself now and will try changing my oil a bit more frequently in the future - that lot would have done close to 15,000ks. From memory it had started off faint and got worse over the past few months (cold weather, dirty oil???)
202 delayed oil pressure on startup

I had a similar problem, thinking the 15 year old 179 was due to come out. I eventually pulled the oil pump off, and the bypass valve fell out! The thing is... it's a JP pump I bought new around 12-15 years ago. I dug up a spare, stripped, cleaned, measured, assembled, fitted... no noise! Crook pump! I use Ryco too. Just cut one open after a fresh 202 went in. Pretty good lookin' filters!
