Default Re: Canister filter

You do realize that is a modification you can make to provide what is sometimes called a 95% full flow system and not an original by-pass oil filter correct? I have the write up that goes with it if you are interested in the modification.

Something sounds very wrong here. That is a by-pass system which should have a restrictor on the inlet. The return line is basically a gravity feed back to the pan and should be under very little pressure. It is odd that a line with such low pressure would be a leak issue. I would suggest that you check to assure that the restrictor is in place (in should be in the .040 to .060 range). Another Barn member just posted a part number for one in the last couple of days. Without this restrictor in place you are lowering the oil pressure to the engine which is not a good idea at all!
