I don't know the lubrication system of a 235 well enough to respond to most
of your question, but I'm concerned that even if you managed to force a clog
out of your oil pump or oil pickup that whatever had caused the clog would
still be inside the motor where it could cause a new clog, or more trouble.
Doesn't seem like a solution to me.
I'm hoping someone else on the list knows something more useful...
