I have one and as I see it, the engine lubrication system is a by-pass system and that seems like a step backward to me. Were the U's, G's, etc. full flow or were they by-pass systems also? Never gave it much thought. On the Special, the only oil going through the filter is metered with a small orifice and once through the filter its simply dumped into the crankcase. Now what has me thinking about it is that I have a vacillating oil pressure gauge that various between little and then no, oil pressure. My guess is a plugged floato which I have cleaned, being thankful for the man-size whole in the oil pan that accepts the filter canister. Once I get a couple of gaskets and a new oil filter and put it back together, I'll report back on the outcome. Just seems that a by-pass system is a major step backwards.
