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.

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

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
