[912s]

After reading chickybok’s – “Stage One Complete” just know I again started wondering about adding a full-flow setup to my car.

David’s full-flow setup raises a question, it appears to be he is taking oil from the pump cover going thru the filter and then returning to the engine at the left of the distributor without the addition of an external cooler?

Is this how others here are doing this? From what reading I've been doing - "Duane Spencer & Vic Skirmants", both talk about coming out of the pump cover and then returning thru the side of the timing cover.

Also an external cooler - is it only necessary in a car that will be raced? Or is it better to fit one into the full-flow setup and remove the stock cooler for better cooling on the #3 cylinder?

One more thing - pressure relief. Is it necessary to put a pressure relief valve between the pump cover and filter for cold starting to avoid excess pressure blowing off lines? Do you return the oil to the pump so it will eventually get filtered? Can this cause the engine to be oil starved when cold?

I don’t have any intention of racing it just a desire to filter ALL of my oil and maybe make the engine last longer for the daily commute(75-80mph).

Thanks,
