I have been thinking about something, as my B motor here thats full pressure oil has had very low oil pressure, 5 psi cold idle, 0 hot. Driving i get 8 cold, 2 hot... No knocks etc... but I have a Kenz oil filter on there, pressure gauge is Tee right there also.

So lets poll Will it boost pressure removing the filter or not.

With my knowledge, you open up a tap flowing 5/16" of oil through the filter and out without a pressure valve or restriction orfice, your pouring the pressure out and reducing pressure at least by half or more. That's how I view it at least. So maybe someone can chime in on this, I am really thinking about ditching this and seeing if the pressure increases drastically as I think it will.

I would like to filter the oil before putting it to all the locations, as I think that would be the best way to really run a true oil filter, but I don't have the machines to make such as I would need a mill most definitely.

Here is the motor in questions.
