Oil flow in a factory bypass system? Ok I am confused.... Normal some would say, but I will leave my family out of this...
I just took apart a factory bypass oil filter system... And I am buggered if I can see how the oil passes through the filter? Oil comes in the side of the housing..... Goes out the bottom... what am I missing here? How does it pass through the filter when the inlet and outlet are both outside the filter? I know the answer will be simple but it's not coming to me and googling it did not help.... |
Re: Oil flow in a factory bypass system? look at the center post, a ways down is a hole in the side

After the oil passes thru the filter it exits thru (2) i/16" holes in the center tube and out the bottom.
The center tube holes are at about the same level as the inlet tube and with the inlet fitting removed it may be possible to see at least one of the holes thru the inlet hole. https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/attac...2&d=1555852614 |

Re: Oil flow in a factory bypass system? The holes in the center tube may be plugged with sludge. Take a small wire brush or an old tooth brush and clean off the center tube or maybe an air gun.They are there although they may be difficult to see.

Re: Oil flow in a factory bypass system? Be carefull when reassembling, if you have removed the brass fittings that screw into the filter canister. One of them has a restriction orifice, and it screws into the side of the canister, and connects to the steel line coming from the back of the engine by the left cylinder head. The purpose of the restriction is to control the amount of oil passing through the filter, while maintaining a restriction in the line to maintain oil pressure in the engine.

The first diagram may be a one that 51 Merc posted in an earlier thread. The return holes are in the stand pipe, they are just a little difficult to find.

Should look good in the boat... Painted cream with new decals, brass fittings and copper lines. I can mount it on the hull bulkhead as long as it has the correct fall for the oil to return to the sump. I assume it is just gravity return? |
