Yeah as I recall it was a big secret but if you pay him to work on your engine, he'll install it for you. A check valve makes sense.
t's a big job though since you have to remove the upper pan to do it.

It’s probably a valid problem

easir for us fix is to pump some sump oil thru a gear motor into a tee fitting in place of the oil pressure switch. Put a check valve on that.

pump can be switched to come on at key on

once there is let’s say 10 psi ,,,,, then the pump can be shut off.

one way ball check valve ….easy

cost …a couple hundred bucks

would Get all the air out and always provide for a “under pressure “ motor start.
