Some new Details
I did some final measurements. Measurements that I'm sure you'll all find very interesting.
Of course, as the pickup is turned up or down, so does the screen. And small changes on the inboard side result in radical changes at the outside tip of the screen.
The tip of the screen, when the back of the screen touches the top of the gear cover plate (with the engine on the stand upside down,) leaves the tip only 1/8" from the bottom of the pan. And it actually sits inside the little dip where the drain plug goes. So it comes darn near to touching that drain plug bolt. So we're talking really low in the pan. If I sit the back side of the screen in the notch on the underside of the plate, the tip measures 3/4" directly from the tip to the little dip.
After all of this discussion, as I see it, there's only one option, unless of course I alter the cover so the screen can be adjusted with more accuracy, and that's to sit the backside of the screen in the notch which will leave it way high.
Forgive my inability to write this using proper engineering nomenclature and parlance. I hope all of you were able to follow me on this.
Suggestions?
