Good idea, thanks ! I've been trying to figure out an 'out of the way' location for my Kong full flow oil device on a B that I finishing up. I want to use the B fuel pump this time and your app might just give right solution. |

Re: Oil Filter?
John La Voy did an article on his testing of the oil filters in the Times a while back. I do believe that the filters were cut open after use. It might be useful to look up that article. If you don't have the old magazines you couldcontact him and buy one, perhaps.

Yeah, another yute's horror story of engine abuse..sounds all tooo familiar ! Regarding oil filter replacement, there was a time, I was informed that the filter could / should be replaced...every other oil change is perfectly ok. I used to do that when the filter was cheap, now not so much and they are no longer cheap. Of course, this would be dependent on condition of engine insides. |

Re: Oil Filter?
Cutting the filter open will reveal any metal, ie: Babbitt, aluminum, etc. Catch it before it's gone way too far.
Aircraft mechanics open them every time for that specific reason.

Re: Oil Filter?
Use a giant pipe cutter or tin snips to cut the filter open, so you don't introduce a lot of metal chips from using a hacksaw.

Re: Oil Filter?
How about a can cutter something like this?
(works pretty much like a kitchen can opener.)

The A-6705-F $169.95 / ea. (Snyder's) filters almost all of the oil passing through the pump. I am in agreement with John LaVoy. IMO: I think the valve cover filter is the best available. (A-Ford-Able Full Flow Oil Filter) Good Day! Last edited by Dave in MN; 09-23-2015 at 04:50 PM. |

Re: Oil Filter?
Ed Pitts' post inspired me to do something similar - draw off the block do a bypass through the filter and then dump back into the sump - except I tapped the timing cover instead (easier to remove for the drilling and tapping).
OilFilter01.jpg I mounted mine higher because of the splash shields. You may wonder... I used SAE 30R7 hose with 1/2" steel springs wound around it to avoid crimping in the bends. Pressure shouldn't ever be a problem. I'm getting a full crankcase oil change every 15 minutes at idle. Cave

Re: Oil Filter?
If you run the full flow filter with the bypass lube line to the center main bearing you actually 'pressurize' the center main bearing to the extent the filter media provides a restriction to flow. This is part of the center main lube line,drill the cap and install a brass fitting...the rest can be done by drilling the oil pump shaft housing and tapping it.and connecting the two fittings with a steel tube..
