Oiling issues
New to the group. I have a Dodge Dart Sport race car. 440 .055 over, 11.5:1 compression, Eagle stock stroke crank and rods, 6 qt oil pan and high pressure pump. Older professional products billet oil filter with stainless steel cartridge. Last year I lost oil pressure and spun a couple bearings, hence the new Eagle crank. I pulled the filter and the cartridge imploded. I figured it was the debris from the bearings plugging up filter and causing that to happen. Well, I had the engine rebuilt, and second pass out it did the same thing to the oil filter and lost oil pressure. I shut it down before it did damage. Pulled oil filter and it imploded again. I’m thinking oil pump. Is there a filter bypass in it in case the oil won’t flow through it fast enough?
