Just pulled my oil strainer for the first time in about 15 years. I change my oil 3 times a year, so didn't expect any surprises - none found, just about 1/8 inch of sludge & nothing on the screen.
During the 15+ years on the 914, there were no oil leaks from the anywhere aroung the strainer, so I'm asking for opinions on the preferred crush ring - aluminum (which was on mine), or copper? Just curious as to the potential bias here.
BTW, stripped & refinished the lower plate with Krylon "semi-flat" paint. Nice stuff, but it's a little too glossy. Any ideas on dulling the finish?

Yeah, I know, this is non-critical stuff to you, but serious to me.
