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. |

They didn't it is still a ? mark.
The only thing i can think of is it may of been in there from past history before i owned the car. The Canton inline scavenge filter i have is made for the suction side of a dry sump and would not be restricting the screen element is much like the screen on a sump. The problem with the stock filter and the stock engine thermostat as i understand is they have an oil bypass so the oil is not always getting filtered, so if i added the Cantan canister filter in the pressure side out of the engine i would be assured that all the oil is getting filtered all of the time. |
