I am installing a Canton remote oil filter in between my oil tank and the engine scavenge inlet. I am doing this to eliminate the possibility of metal particles that have showed up in the past on the sump screen. There may have been some lurking in the tank or lines that never flushed out.
? what size filter would be adequate to filter and not hinder oil flow, a fine element 8-micron or a fine 140 mesh 150 micron screen, the oil pump is a turbo pump. |

As I read your lengthy thread on the garage, you have a 914/6
Oil tank. I also saw your thread over on the Pelican engine forum. This tank has a filter built into it which cleans the scavenge side oil *before* it enters the tank. 2 filters on the scavenge side would be redundant. There is no filter on feed side nor should one be installed as there is no pressure to push oil thru it....it is suction/gravity feed only. Did your shop ever discover where those metal bits on your screen came from? I don't need to know, but you do. BTW, *very* nice job on the car. |
