I don't see a stock/oe engine blowing an oil filter. Sorry.
I saw a comment a few posts back about 10w-40 being detrimental to a slant. Does anyone care to elaborate on that? I was running 10-40 trop-artic in mine.
slant six has a weak oil pump gear. in stock form they work fine and never have an issue. if you buy a new melling pump your chance is VERY high you will lose the gear and motor because they dont hardened the gear enough.
i run 20-50 on a original pump at 6 grand for over 300 passes and alot of street miles, no issues. i use the hemi spring for 75 PSI cold and about 65PSI hot at all times with 20-50 VR1.
as stated above Comp Cams nitrides their cams which makes the rockwell much harder than a stock cam (have to talk to doug or frank on this next one to be sure) and harder than even the hardened gears that come with franks or dougs blueprinted racing pumps. now before anybody says MadMax runs 11.50's NA and 10.50's on the bottle with a comp cam he is running an external oil pump.
my next race motor will be an external oil belt driven oil pump for just the security of the issue.
Now if superdave will be so kind as to post his rant on the appropriate thread (his own under general discussion) and lets talk turbo's.
first off your gonna want a 2.76-3.23 gear for a slant turbo car. second you know your gonna have to change valve springs to compensate for the pressure of boost trying to open the valve.
