Building up Starter Pressure

["John Hofstetter" <hofs@domain.elided>]

Russell,
It's so much fun to catch John L. in a boo-boo. Besides he thinks that
I lay in wait to catch him, so I feel I have an obligation to do just
that. He, however, was correct as usual in that a rebuilt starter
won't raise your oil pressure. 
(Very big grin, indeed)
