Last night after work I fired my "Newly Rebuilt" engine and ran all the basic test and everything seems fine. Plumbing is ok, timing OK,
OIL PRESSURE is fine (idle's at about 900 RPM w/ 35-40 pounds of
oil pressure after warm up and about 70 pounds at 5500 RPM), water temp never got above 190 except as the thermostat was opening etc.
Later in the evening after a couple trips on the highway, Kent my machinist, came over and blessed off on everything. When I picked up my engine from Carbones' he had a "System One"
oil filter on my engine and asked me to use it for a few weeks. After my engine cooled down a little bit Kent and I ran the valves and Kent pulled the oil filter off to see what was in it and everything was normal. Kent strongly encouraged me to buy a new SYSTEM ONE filter to use on my engine. His cost is just under $100 but you never replace them, just clean out and re-use. This is an expensive oil filter even if it is just a one time deal so I wanted to know if anyone here has any experience with the SYSTEM ONE oil filters?
Thanks,
