F134 Oil Pressure

Thats what I always did. Once I figured out how that bypass filter design worked, I wondered why anyone bothered to run its at all. I guess something is better than nothing though.. Northstar willys.. I bought stuff from them over 10 years ago..Guess I wont be buying from them anymore..

 

Bypass filter systems have been around for years. You guys are acting like the oil doesn’t get filtered. All of it gets filtered it may take 2 or 3 trips thru the engine but it all gets filtered. That is surely better than no filter, especially when it probably takes all of 15 seconds to pump all the oil in the pan thru the engine once, if it takes that long

Kind of like the F head power steering thing robbing all the hp.

 

My original engine lasted 61 years with no filter and prolly quite a harsh life on that farm. Even then, the bottom end was very good looking, and likely only needed a mild refresher.

That being said, if there is no warranty of note to lose, I’d run a filter. I was planning on putting one on after I clean some stuff up.

 

Sigh, I checked the orifice on my filter housing and it's .070 or at least its bigger than .040. I'm somewhat confused - is the right orifice to measure the one in the filter housing or the fitting on the timing gear cover? The manual makes it seem like it's on the timing cover but I read in this thread someone re-drilled their housing it seems. F134 Timing Gear Oiling. Are they separate issues? When looking at the fitting going into the timing gear cover, it is way bigger than .070 and appears to be a standard flare fitting type.

So which is it? How do I correct it?

Am I overthinking and over worrying about this?

 

Yes I do.

Oh man, I feel like an idiot. I just reread the section. It's clear about the jet being in the block.

I'm sure mine has the right one as it's later model.

LOL - it's been a long day.
