Oil Filter?
Does anyone use an oil filter, either full-flow or bypass?
I think I like the Snyder's style that replaces the timing side cover....just because it looks like a neat installation... http://www.snydersantiqueauto.com/oil-filter-kit-2054

Re: Oil Filter?
Does that sort of filter increase the oil pressure? Well, where the oil guage goes anyway.

Re: Oil Filter?
I would think if anything it would decrease the oil pressure. The oil only has one way to go and that is up into the valve chamber to be distributed. With the filter you are spilling oil out of that area and sending it to the oil filter instead of up into the valve chamber. Giving the oil another outlet, would reduce pressure.

Re: Oil Filter?
When we tested the various options several years ago we found the valve cover unit was, in our opinion, the best of the ones out there.

Re: Oil Filter?
Bratton's shows a similar filter kit, but without the 90° adapter....the adapter seems like a good idea....did you get it along with the rest of the kit or separately?

Re: Oil Filter?
My oil pressure was running at 7 pounds before oil filter. Now it is at 12 pounds.

Re: Oil Filter?
I believe the 90° adapter is made by Ford Racing. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/fm...-a50/overview/
IF you can find one, most '56-'64 Ford Big trucks with the Y-Block engine (292) had a 90° oil filter adapter stock in order to clear the steering box. If you have a truck bone yard around you may be able to find one cheap. Last edited by Y-Blockhead; 09-18-2015 at 10:55 PM. |

Re: Oil Filter?
Has anyone cut open their used filters to see what, if anything, was trapped in the filter? I'm of the opinion that a filter only works on a newly rebuilt engine to trap filings and grindings that the rebuilder didn't bother to clean out during the rebuild process. Most of the dust inhaled through the carb that works its way into the crankcase is under 10 microns, too small for the filter to catch.

Re: Oil Filter?
Hey waxhead,
Yeah, that is the B in my driver, '30 roadster...full flow and no spill ! Plus , as you can see, a threaded opening for the oil gage. Nice unit. Haven't seen another like it, but would like to buy another. Only problem with it, is that it blocks use of the B fuel pump..bummer. |
