I was talking to Mr. Schaider the other day and he pointed out a billet oil filter with a reusable 20 micron stainless steel mesh filter element that looks very attractive as it will allow you to inspect what the filter is catching every time you change the oil even better then cutting open a conventional pleated fiber filter. It says it traps down to 1 micron but I'm not sure how that works with a 20 micron mesh. It will also help cool the oil better being made from aluminum rather than steel and is burst rated at 1000 psi.
I'm liking this in a HP6 size which will compliment my Fram HPK6000 remote filter adapter very nicely
It's not cheap at $369 but I am told if you tell them it's for a street rod you can get a 15% discount.

We were also discussing the built in bypass used in engine oil filters and I asked Ed why doesn't the filter catch all the debris after the oil pump which somehow gets passed the filter taking the rest of the engine with it?. He stated conventional filters actually allow about 85% of the oil to the bypass the filter which just acts to continually clean the oil but it won't save your engine in the event the pick-up suddenly ingest lots of debris. I was always under the impression the bypass was there in case the filter became totally clogged but apparently I have been wrong about this all these years. He then point me to this site for filters without an bypass which will filter 100% of the oil but you will need to be very careful if this one becomes clogged it could rupture the filter element flooding the engine with the trapped debris or seize the engine by starving it of pressure.

Cool stuff, just thought I would pass this along :rockon:
