Default Oil filter study

I have a canton thermostat that looks like it has the same shape. I see your point of "no by pass"
looking at it from my point of view I would have to import the replacement elements, which isnt a problem! I see on their website they have an inline filter that can be used as a primary filter as well, it uses the same part # element as the billet housing filter!!!
Did you notice any flow or pressure loss with the 8 micron?
I was going to use a Moroso filter of 27 microns but it can still bypass.

It is 8 microns and the oil has to go thru it ...no by pass .... sealed on top and bottom..... and I can run the oil pressure as high as we want to ..... the pump is a Aviaid pump .....but we had a Cast iron pressure section made for it and the pressure stays stable at hige temps.

And we use the screen filters mounted in the oil Pan to the pump and then we use another one like this on the scavenge side out of the pump and to the oil tank.... both are needed, We take temps of oil in the Dry sump tank and we take temps after the cooler going back into the motor....

You can't protect your engine enough..... and our oil temps will go as high as 300*degrees and that is using the largest NASCAR Cooler made by Fluidyne.... Huge Cooler....
