Re: Pt 2 Model A oil filter test
Thanks Randall. If nothing else, this shows that when the filter is full, there is no lag time in oil pumping to the valve chamber. No issues with the anti-flow back valve. No need to drill or modify the filter.

I still hear people saying that overheating can be cured by trimming the impellor and slowing down he water flow through the radiator. That has been debunked sooo many times. Hopefully, at least some people will take note.

Re: Pt 2 Model A oil filter test
It will never happen as long as the Social Media pages on Model-As are still around. The amount of misinformation, -and even disinformation spread on those pages is unreal.

Re: Pt 2 Model A oil filter test
I acknowledge that there is to many questions more than one good / workable answer. However unscientific answers drive me crazy, especially the old wives tales passed along from generation to generation.

Re: Pt 2 Model A oil filter test
Just for conversation sake, how much oil leeched into the valve chamber during the test? This would tell just how much oil is directed through the filter.

Re: Pt 2 Model A oil filter test
I'm confused. I just saw Randall's previous video where he tested the passive oil filtration system. When the oil is cold, there is a fair amount of oil going through the filter, which looks fine to me, but when the oil is up to temperature, hardly any oil is going through the passive oil filter system. I understand that the passive oil filter system is less effective than the full filter system, but the amount of oil when the engine is warm seems very small to me. Since I have just partially overhauled my engine (original babbitt bearings) and installed the visually more attractive passive oil filter system, I am now wondering whether the passive oil filter system is sufficient at all or should I switch to a full filter system after all? Has anyone found a similar video that confirms Randall's insight into the passive oil filtration system, or am I panicking unnecessarily?

The actual bypass filters are mounted below the valve chamber, so gravity works with them, not against them. |
