Re: oil filter delete??
I will chime in here on restrictor holes. In addition to the standpipe my 46 also has one in return to the oil pan.

Re: oil filter delete??
There should be no pressure in the can if the line coming in is smaller than the line going out to the pan. Same theory is used in all hydraulic machines, always a larger return line to the tank than the pressure lines. Some resistance from the filter element I would guess, but not much after its all warmed up. perhaps the return line is plugged up a bit ?

Re: oil filter delete??
Doesn't hurt to run a stock filter. I used to have one and found the cardboard style filters from Macs leaked just as you describe. I began buying Wix 51006 which came with a properly fitting rubber gasket and it did not leak anymore. It was night and day between the two brands and supplied gaskets.
I have since rebuilt that engine and decided not to deal with the hassle of the filter. With frequent oil changes for a stock engine, I agree that my engine will be just fine.

Re: oil filter delete??
I bought two new Wix filters from my FLAPS last week. I changed the oil and filter on my car today, The gasket that came with the new filter seemed to be real rubber, fit fine, and didn't leak. As others have suggested, I would check the exit ports in the filter cannister.

Re: oil filter delete??
Change the oil every 1000 miles or yearly which ever comes first. The oil will probably never get that dirty. Or run a filter and still change it yearly.
