Default Re: Oil Filter

That little piece of tubing shown above is stuffed into the hole that discharges oil into the chamber, forces the oil into the filter then back into the chamber.

Do you have pictures and/or instructions as to how you accomplished this?

Just imagine in the drawing above, the oil comes out of the filter into a hole in the valve cover. No other fitting or anything. The only fitting is to get the oil INTO the filter. There is nothing on the exit side.

I really like how you did this...I cant seem to find the article in SOS to convert to full flow

After reading above. I don't agree with the Model A times on why the Taylor filter is ineffective. I'm thinking about using the Taylor adapter, but pulling the oil from inside the valve chamber like the Afordable filter, to a bulk head fitting in the cover, to the Taylor adapter , but instead of dumping the oil into cam gear area, reroute the discharge to the valve cover ...I have tube header so I'm looking for a way to filter my oil.. any thoughts?

The only problem I see is that it doesn't filter 100% of the oil but some filtration is better than none as in Henrys original design.
