She’s mated to the tranny now. Oil filter is stuck on the old engine so i’ll need to buy a new one instead of being able to reuse it.

And i think i found the reason for the ocassionally bad idle(cracked gasket somehow between PCV vacuum feed and atmosphere). Looks like i had gotten it misaligned when i put this engine together, causing it to discord and split. Oh well.

I don’t think lack of lubrication will be the death of this alternator...

You don’t want to be reusing the oil filter anyways.

They don't cost anything either. I tend to buy my Mann filters for around €5 or so.

Well couldn’t anyway, so new one fitted. 7€/$, so eh, same price as a new oil pressure switch since the old one looked moist in the general area.
