Re: 59 block oil filter question
My observations: I have no restrictor going into my 8BA filter and there is no oil pressure difference with or without the filter. As has been said and illustrated elsewhere in this thread, I assume the 0.60 restrictor coming out of the oil filter is the reason for the constant oil pressure. Which leaves me wondering the real reason for having a restrictor on the "in" side? Wouldn't you want the oil under higher pressure going into the filter so it will be forced through the element? The seals at the top of the filter should be able to hold 601bs, but this may be the reason I have just sprung a leak there. I've resealed it and if it continues to leak will add an "in" restrictor.

Re: 59 block oil filter question
Their is no restrictor coming out of the filter, there are two small holes in the inside tube of the filter but these are both 0.063, so it can flow twice the amount out than in. Yes they will restrict some if there went an "in" restrictor, but their should be an "in" restrictor.
Why not just fit it the way they fitted them on millions of flatheads, it worked, plain and simple. Martin. |

Re: 59 block oil filter question
The reason for the restrictor is so you only bleed off a certain amount of oil If you do not have a restrictor, you will be bleeding off more oil than you should. That means you have less oil going to your bearings. Ford engineers have determined a bleedoff of a certain size is acceptable. I have seen a size of .055 quoted, but I have used 1.5mm with no detriment. I did not silder mine, I found some material that was a tight fit in the fitting, knocked it in, then drilled it.
The restrictor should be before the filter and after the oil pressure sensor. The above applies to bypass filters only. Mart. |

Re: 59 block oil filter question
When you change the filter lines, be sure to replace the filter element before start-up.

Re: 59 block oil filter question
I know this is an old thread but was a good one with information i'm interested in learning more on. I have a 59ab I purchased for a project awhile back with this type oil filter set up. There is mention of the restrictors to limit the flow and maintain oil pressure. Should there be a restrictor in the inlet line to the filter? When I ran the engine for the first time I had oil coming out the top end of the filter after running for a few minutes. I later learned was due to the holes in the center tube being plugged as well as the outlet tube going back to the pan. I have cleaned it out now but then I ran across this old thread that has me questioning what is correct. Any insight and pics would be really appreciated.
Thanks, Pat |

Re: 59 block oil filter question
Yes there is a restrictor on the inlet side of the filter, about .060. There are two holes about the same size in the out let tube up the center of the canister. The inlet restrictor can be in various locations, near the connection at the rear of the block (the inlet line going to the canister), at the inlet to the canister or in the fitting just before the canister.
These are called by-pass filters. They bleed off a small percentage of the oil and pass it through the filter and the dump it back into the oil pan. |

Re: 59 block oil filter question
Thanks JSeery, I removed the line between the canister and the rear of the block and I can't see where there are any. Do you know of a source for what I need or if someone can upload a pic maybe?
Thanks |

Re: 59 block oil filter question
Yes, just need to get a thread match. They sell restrictor for turbo chargers that have the correct restrictor size. Also a drawing of the system.

Re: 59 block oil filter question
Thanks for the information, I seen where you provided this on other posts related to the subject here on the forum in the past. I'm thinking that I will put this on the inlet on the actual canister. Just seems like hardly any oil will be flowing through the filter with this sort of setup.

Re: 59 block oil filter question
Fred, Before you go any further, read all and any posts below that have to do with oil filters.
Also, use hard lines from the block to the inlet on you filter and hard line where the oil exits the filter and drains back into the pan. https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/showt...adapter&page=3 |
