Model A oil filter test

Sunny, do you have a picture of your oil filter set up that you could share?
Tnx, Ken
 
I could tell no difference with the full flow filter or without by the amount of resistance I felt on the drill ,especially the small low powered 12v 3/8 drill, there was more resistance trying to keep the cam from trying to walk out, now I know why the cam plunger spring is so strong!
 
the engine wont strain since the pump is basically on a worm gear, but the pump internally has a tendency to shoot the pressure up, especially on certain oil filters. the drain back valve is normally closed when the engine is shut off, and when the engine starts it will open up under pressure, the point though to open it is higher than the A pump is built to take. so, I agree, it won't be noticeable at first. the oil pump won't show anything wrong right away. But over years of using higher-pressure, somethings going to give. that pump moves huge amounts of oil, its high volume, but it wasn't really intended for pressure. the gears inside will be pushing on something that pushes back, unlike the stock engine where the oil flows freely.
 
Sunny if you watched my video I show just how much volume, I have driven my a for over twenty years wit a Afordable valve cover filter with all kind of different brand filters,from Va to all states except Ak and i didn't"t have any breakdowns
