Thanks for your quick reply Tracy, you hit the nail on the head. I had used
too much sealant. I also had used the wrong filter.

My setup does have a oil pressure alarm, which sounded while about 15 miles
out from our airport.  My oil filter is (was) actually a fuel filter screen from Earls,
which was easily stopped up with excess sealant, and did restrict the flow.

The alarm went off when I reduced throttle to land (after I had the runway made
for certain), and came back on when I  throttled up for taxi.

I did check all the internal parts, and your beautiful design still looks brand
new. I used #2 Permatex for reassembly, so I know it will be hard to get
apart the next time.
