It is made well and uses same holes as the canister, but I found out from this site the orifice is to big. I took it back off and drilled an tapped for a 8x32 screw. cut the head of screw and drilled a .062 hole slotted it for screwdriver. I screwed it in with a little red loctite this raised my OP about 5lbs.   [Reply]  [No Email]

Plus, on an N, it's not as critical since it's a bypass filter. It's just a nice added feature of orientating the filter that way. I wouldn't get hung up on it. That aside, when the orientation allows, filters should be primed prior to installation. Per Cummins: "Fill the oil filters with clean lubricating oil when changing the engine oil to ensure immediate bearing lubrication when restarting the engine. Failure to pre-lube the oil filter may cause bearing damage."   [Reply]  [No Email]

Remember the oil goes through the bearings by a totally different route. Only "excess" oil that doesn't go through the bearings goes through the filter and that is via the 1/16" restrictor passage in the OEM filter canister. As for price that chunk of aluminum would cost me $20 before I ever made the first chip and the little JIC adapter another $5. TOH   [Reply]  [No Email]
