The book says:



Screw the strainer into the pump body plate until the measurement between the
pump body face and the end of the strainer gauze is 4.25 inches.

Speaking of oil starvation - I had problems with my "professionally" rebuilt
motor several years ago. I have a steep driveway, and if the oil level was a
little low, I would lose oil pressure when I reached the top of the driveway.
Turns out the oil pick-up had not been adjusted and was screwed fully into the
pump. After adjusting it such that it sat lower in the sump, I never had any
more problems with it. Fortunately there was no engine damage, so I guess I
dodged a bullet there.



I've never seen any recommendations on adjusting the pick-up, but it made a
huge difference for me by setting it as low in the sump as possible. Something
worth looking at when assembling your motor -
