Remote Oil Filter Pics requested

[DFRESH]

Guys, any of you have shots of where, how you set this up and who's stuff u are using? Running -12 lines I would suppose---post up pics of what you have (mounting, etc) if you have them please---many thanks!!

With the old engine I had it on the frame horn before the radiator. (Passenger side)Not many good options. -12 is probably overkill unless the lines get long.(Beyond the support) I was going to run 12's on the new engine but GM plumbed the block with -10 o-ring ports. That and I had no room to make -12 happen. No 90 degree adapter fittings and you'll be fine. It's a good time to dump the stock bypass valve for a stiffer spring or plug it all together. The extra friction can cause it to bypass cold and that's bad if you don't know you have a problem. Ask me how I know. We're do for a phone call anyway.

-10s that's whats on the block:

Routed the lines behind the inner fender. Amsoil's remote bypass kit.

Doug -- Just saw this thread....

Of course EVERY car is different - different header issues - steering components etc....

I mounted my Pure Power remote filter on the transmission crossmember. It was easy to take out of the car - build a couple of brackets - weld it up and mount the lines/remote etc. I ran -10s....

It sits now out of the way - no way to hit it - driver side - near the tailshaft of the 700r4. Lines on the small block run down just past the flexplate - along the trans pan - and right to the filter and back.

Best yet -- it doesn't drip on ANYTHING when it needs to be changed! Before -- I had to run tin foil over the headers to keep the oil off of them... When I collect enough of that old oily tin foil -- I send it down to Todd and he uses it to wrap his spark plug wires. :D

A PS....

I'm using the Pure Power cleanable billet filter.... it has magnets inside and filters 100% of the oil. It is NOT a bypass filter... it's a 100% all oil goes thru this bad boy filter...

The magnets and the 100% filtering is what saved the crank - the bearings and all the other "internals" in the 427 when the cam was being eaten by the roller lifters... Or at least that's what the engine builder said. Having it cleanable is also how I could SEE that the motor was going to bad... so now I'm double sold on using this "type" of filtration. :cheers:

Forgot the link for the filter type I'm using.... DOH! I must be getting really OLD...

There are many manufacturers of this type of filter... this just happens to be the one (I run them in everything I own) I use.

Buddy old Pal, Old buddy, Old pal, Old buddy, Old pal, Gregory. There ain't no room for an oil filter near the crossmember of a first gen in stock trim. :unibrow:

Doug has BFH's doesn't he?
:rofl: :rofl:


No wonder I sold all of my 69's

LOL--thanks for the link BFF. I like the idea of being able to clean the filter.

Trying to determine if I should do the rearend and brakes, or swap my current motor for the new one i've got sitting around. Can't do it all at the same time.

If motor comes out, I want to setup the filter as a remote setup.

I used the Pure Power setup on my Elky. Is a really nice filter setup and nothing get's past it.

Mike --

I'd swap out those two 90's for long radius versions... or sweeps. There's a ton of loss of flow using two 90's like that. Not being "critical" of your installation... just sayin' that with oil pressure and FLOW (volume)... it's pretty important. Pressure and volume being two different animals.

You're right though! Nothing gets past those filters! My crankshaft and bearings show the results - completely undamaged even though my camshaft looks like someone beat it with a hammer. :lol:

[Vegas69]

Yep, using 90 degree fittings is not ideal. Staight adapter fittings and 90 degree hose end would be better.

Thanks Mike for the pics as well.

Good suggestion. When I plumbed this I used what I had on the shelf. You know how that is, once installed you move on and forget it. I will make those changes the next time I do an oil change which is real soon. The trip to Michigan was 2355 miles(Motor State Challenge).
Thanks

Mike,

Do you have any other pics?

Lot's. What did you need to see?

How about some pics that show the whole package (basically a couple shots from a few feet away). Is that an LS motor under the hood?
