There is even a bigger flaw with the "95" % system and that is it does not filter the rear main. I've got a friend who's engine had that system. Something went wrong and the rear main got completely wiped out and the engine was junk. No. 1 and 2 main were completely OK. His next engine got the Motor City system. I've built a number of engines with the MC system without a problem(knock on wood).
