Re: Oil Filter
My 1954 BMW motorcycle had a very efficient air filter and no oil filter. My 1960 Velocette had an oil filter and no air filter. Both needed a rebuild after about 75,000 miles. I wonder how far they would of gone with both?

Re: Oil Filter
Regarding Sea Slugs Question. I have been a Model A man ever since I could legally drive a car but in my declining years I have developed a closet liking for Dodge. Tucked away in my shed amongst all the Model A stuff is a 1928 Dodge Victory Six. It has an oil filter, although not full flow, ( but easily converted) an air cleaner, 7 main bearing pressure fed crank and hydraulic brakes. If only Henry had not fallen out with those Dodge boys back in 1914. Happy Motoring.

Restriction: Since a Model A pump is a positive displacement pump, there is not a lot of restriction to flow. Restrictive losses to flow would be dependent on the condition or clearances within the pump. Desirable...that is a different question and you will get lots of opinions. On my stock Pickup with Babbitt motor, I have no filter. On my inserted Phaeton motor, I have an A-Ford-Able filter. I always suggest an oil filter when building insert bearing engines for customers. Good Day! |
