Re: Updated oil filter system

Sure its a bit more work converting to this improved system but its not a difficult job for the average individual to do with some care and good mechanical skills. My experience after driving cross country and back first time 6000 miles the second trip over 7000 miles most at highway speeds there was no internal wear what's so ever. Since I have driven my roadster over 100.000 plus miles so far I'm pleased with the longevity of the internal parts. An additional item that helps greatly as mentioned above is a PCV. One needs to think about what's taking place in our engine's. While we know the cubic inches of the engine's size that same cubic inches is actually being pumped on the downward stroke into the crankcase. Thus the blowby and crankcase pressures are an area that's greatly improved when a PCV is added into the equation. Ronnieroadster

Re: Updated oil filter system
Here is the pcv system I put on my 8ba. I welded bungs on bottom of intake to draw vacuum from both side of intake, used a pcv valve off a 63 comet 260 engine.

The Mercedes with a million miles in the ad only has a bypass filter and just a screen for full flow |

Re: Updated oil filter system
One of the milk trucks I drove had standard filter on engine and a bypass system installed by a previous owner. Seemed such a waste since the engine was a leaking puking 6V92 Detroit, changed it's own oil every day. That Lubrufiner held about 2 gallons of oil.

Re: Updated oil filter system
Newbe here. 1950 Ford sedan - has a bypass oil filter canister, but not plumbed. Chromed and just sitting there looking all pretty but doing nothing. I'd like to use it but knowing next to nothing about the flathead, I don't know where to run the oil lines. Where can I get that info?
Thanks! |

Re: Updated oil filter system
The last pic is your stock PCV system. If you search on google with Ford Barn in the search ( stock filter system On Ford Barn) you’ll get a whole day worth of reading.......Mark

Re: Updated oil filter system
For what it's worth: The "1940 Service Data Handbook" that came with my 1940 sedan says to change the oil every 2,000 miles if not equipped with a filter. If equipped with an oil filter (original bypass type) change the oil "at 5,000 mile intervals. The filter unit should be replaced every 10,000 miles." So Ford must have felt their bypass filter was effective!
I think that a PCV system is a big improvement over the original road draft tube because the car has to be moving (probably 30 MPH or more) to create the draft at the tube outlet that pulls fumes out. When idling or putting around town there is no ventilation occurring and the oil gets contaminated with combustion by-products. A PCV system works well at idle as well as at speed. |
