Full Flow Filter possibility-

Posted by Bob Carabbio on June 23, 1997 at 19:30:16

Just checking to see if anybody has tried this -
The oil pump moves the oil and discharges it right at the point where the pipe fitting is at the skirt of the block.It then runs through a couple of slots cut into the pump body up into the center camshaft bushing area, then up the distributer shaft and forward into the front of the valve chamber.
It appears that if the slots in the pump housing were brazed closed,and the pump housing machined for a good fit with an "O" ring, the oil would be forced out the fitting at the bottom of the block where it could be piped to a remotely mounted filter, and returned to the camshaft bushing area through another fitting drilled and tapped into the block about 1.5" above the existing one.
What am I missing??
Seems like an easy way to get full-flow filtration.
