Todd & Autumn,

The guys at Calico do a good job.

I had asked before, but do not recall the answer if it was given (getting old!). Is the bypass in the oil filter block adapter plugged? IF not, loads of oil does not get filtered. IF it is plugged, all the oil gets run through the filter.

Lots of gonna, wanna, shoulda, on this subject, but a race engine is not an over the road design so some factory philosophy must be rethought.

Hope you are narrowing in on the oiling problems and can get in some dyno testing soon.

Regards,
HB2
