Oil Filter

[INSIDIOUS '86]

Think I'm going to buy a royal purple filter for breaking in my engines now haha. The anti drain back valves really don't serve a purpose in our v8s other than a flow restriction. I usually block of the bypass on my engines with high output oil pumps that are run hard (10-20%) not the hv series. But for a block off its highly recomended you have a HIGH FLOW filter so the oil pressure builds quick. I don't like the fact that at 20lbs of pressure the oil bypass opens up and a lot of oil go's by unfiltered which defeats the purpose of a good filter anyways
A lot of guys at the track here used to run frams but a while back they started imploding and people's engines would get the filter media run through the engine and seized them. I'm sure the high pressure pumps are putting a lot of pressure on the filters and calapsing them.
