Default Re: Oil Filtering Advice

Tom, I agree with you on this 100%. The other systems don 't filter much of the oil in their original form. I have had one setup in the shop that looked pretty good for filtering but was dubious for cam gear lubrication. This system had the top of the pump sealed by filling the notches with JB weld and turning it smooth and adding an O ring to seal it and routing the oil out of the port on the side of the motor, through the filter via a remote filter and, back into the valve cover at the front where it could flood the chamber and overflow into the cam gear. I think the flood in the valve chamber leaked back into the cam gear giving it some lubrication. I still would use the A-ford-able setup because of reliability and ease of installation.
