found the front screen that mum scratched with her wedding ring, i think it should go back in & remove that laminated one

'UOM' is sick, it has no blood pressure, i've primed the pump & the pressure went up/light out but once that oil had circulated the pressure dropped so it'll be engine out, new pump, new bearings, check pick up pipe gauze
