351 oil bypass
Here is one for the books. I have a 351 Windsor. 110K on it runs great...... But when I change the oil the filter is dry, that's right no oil in it. I have tried a couple of different filters and have gotten away from Fram (bad news). I have plent of oil pressure and my lifters are not making noise, so I know oil is getting to the engine. I just changed today and dry again. This time I forced compresed air up both holes. Had a hard time sealing the return, but got air up the low pressure side in the middle. I will pull the filter in a day or two to see if that worked. The center has a big hex in it, but I dont know what will fall out if I take it out. Is there an internal bypass other than the one in the pump which just regulates pressure ?? I have been changing my oil often to compensate.
Help !!!
