Oil filter threads
I am looking at buying Petersons new remote oil filter mount this has a oil primer incorporated which an electric drill can be used on the drive spud, for those who want to prime their engines.
I have dry sump but can't access the pump drive spud and its a hassle taking the belt off periodically. The filters come in either Ford 3/4"-16 thread or GM13/16"-16 threads now as its a remote filter would it be worth going to the slightly larger filter thread for possibly more flow if the hole is correspondingly larger, my other idea is to stick with traditional ford. Does anyone know if there is any advantage with GM filters or just me being pedantic again. |
There is probably 500 times the difference in pressure drop(13/16" vs 3/4") within the rest of the system.

BTW....how about posting a link to the piece under discussion? I like the idea of being able to prime my engine after a long "nap" with an electric drill. Sure would eliminate the majority of my need for an Accusump! Thanks! Cheers from Dugly :cool: !! |

Chev/GM filter does not have an internal filter by-pass valve, Ford does.
Since yours is dry sump Ant all you have to do is flick the belt off & spin the pump by hand to pre lube, dont have to worry about keeping the battery drill charged up then:):) |
are you going to be able to pull the oil through the dry sump pump?

There is also a non NASCAR WIX filter w/o the internal by-pass if that's what you want. Although it uses a different size mounting thread (1-1/8" x 16) Check out the flow differences in the T-10 and T-71 filter material. You will be impressed. Ed |

I'm just curious, I've never seen any ratings like those....why would they rate an oil filter by how many CFM of air it will pass? Cheers, Dugly :cool: |

Regarding filters I am going to use these Canton screw on filters https://www.cantonracingproducts.com...ion&key=25-434 they have no bypass, flow 45 gpm and filter down to 8microns. As you mention I might be better to go for a Ford remote mount as I can use a variety of high performance Ford filters such as K&N etc, the small mounts are HP1, HP4 etc. I had a Fram HP6 mount and it was just massive so I got rid of it. |

Dont think this deal you have lined up would work in the setups I run as it would have to pull the oil thru the pressure section of the dry sump pump, We go -tank, pump pressure, cooler, filter, motor... the critical bit is - tank, pump- which is the same way you have yours IIRC unless it uses an extra line to the tank or pan bottom to source oil from..[yep,looks like that is how they do it--more plumbing:):)] |

Jac Mac,
Do you tend to use the HP6 size? The Peterson primer mount uses a -10 line from oil tank or engine sump. I was going to do the pressure section to t/stat, oil cooler, filter to engine. Changed to scavenge, cm inspection filter, canton t/stat, oil cooler - oil tank. That way the filter and t/stat should route cold oil to tank to avoid a cooler failure on a cold engine, also I will be cooling oil and air so not ideal but I don't think oil temperature will be that bigger deal with alloy engine etc. |

Honestly, I am not certain. They have a volume flow rating so it would seem redundant to also use an air flow rating. The only thing that comes to mind is it may be a way of describing the oil pressure restriction introduced by the filter element. NASCAR filters notwithstanding, that Canton unit looks mighty impressive - although a little pricey. A lot cheaper than engine parts though. Ed |
Yes we are using threads & O-Rings of that Dimension, but just plain Chevy Filter in the TVR, with the oil/water heat exchanger we have had no cold start pressure issue/leaks etc [as long as Greg or I do the first start] some of the yanks/canadians that tag along are liabilities in that regard..:) its no wonder we see so many sheared oil pump drives/gears on these forums...

Jac Mac,
That is really par for the course at times, I no doubt will go through a bit of that when this little rocket is finished, there is always a few things that creep up with the best laid plans etc. I feel being more hands on with my project at least I am able to do most of the work. I am not that far away from redoing the IRS. I am keen to find out what promoted these incidents with the white car. Hope you can call in next time your going through the big town of Ashburton. |
