Lower, but it's a different pump and I did some modifications. Also running thinner oil. So all in all, it's comparable.

 

Ok, as long as it is not a drastic difference. I still don't know how those bearings survived that carnage. I would have liked to also see what the filter looked like cut open when that happened.

 

Ever since the 60's, I've put a magnet into the oil filter for a little added protection.

Do they come out with anything stuck to them when you change the filters?

 

I stuck one on there too this time. Help catch anything I might have missed.

 

I use to fish them out and re-use it. But then started using the old refrigerator door seal strip magnets. Just cut them about 4" or so it drops in under threaded flange.

GOOD TIP , I have a roll of that refrigerator seal Magnet in my garage .

 

I tried a K&N oil filter once and noticed the my oil psi was much higher. And I gave it some thought why other then better filtration.

Right now then why. I see it a filter that has better filtration an Builds up the oil pressure is only backing up the oil between pump & filter. Right.

So the psi is higher between the pump & filter only this is cuttings down the flow to your oiling system pass the filter?.

This higher psi is not what's really flowing through you engine. May be even lower then normal when using a K&N..

So I just use a standard filter motorcraft. with magnets.

Sorry Garrett, Late to the party here. Just popped in to check on you before I go back out. New found freedom.
On the oil pressure Orich has a point, I remember back about 1992ish I had a neighbor that was a mechanic at a Chrysler Dealer. He told me Chrysler sent word out to tell people NOT to use Fram oil filters. They did TOO GOOD of a job filtering and restricted either flow or pressure. I don't remember which. But the point is that little difference could be the oil filter. Now on the slight loos of power. I think it's in the replacement timing chain and gears. Cam is not straight up like it was. Years ago I saw a magazine test where they tested a bunch of brands. Name brands. Some were up to 4 degrees off.

 

The oil pressure doesn't have me to concerned, there is still plenty of it.

As for the slight loss of power, it could be the timing set. I think I just need to keep driving it and get it fine-tuned again. I've been out of it for basically a month, so I kind of actually forgot how it drives.

 

Well Ladies and Gentlemen I want to Thank Garrett again and let you all know what a GOOD job young Prince (1) did yesterday to help my real Son. He brought the above tractor over to my Son's (Jeff Jr.) house yesterday. He worked this tractor like a Pro. Obviously not his 1st Rodeo. He played that tractor like a Violin. It took longer than I expected because while my Son had tilled the earth that tiller didn't go deep enough for Garrett to easily scrape the loose ground and put it in the low side. The aim was to level the back yard. He soon got down to the hard ground. And I mean HARD ground. For those of you who don't know this yet, here in the Phoenix valley once you dig below a few inches of top soil you get down to our hard ground. Thanks to Caleche. It's like clay only super dried and compacted. Closer to steel than cement. I remember one time years ago I wanted to plant a tree in my front yard. Once I removed the top soil I started attacking the hard ground with a full size pic/axe. I was swinging the pic so hard it was BOUNCING off the Caleche. This is with soaking with water before hand. Water doesn't go very far and very fast in to Caleche. I ended up bending that pic in a curl by the time I had the hole close enough..
Well Garrett got past this obstacle with the Vim and Vigor of an Ace. Thanks again.

 

Thanks Jeff, I had fun haha

 

You're very welcome Garrett. Well deserved. Well, off I go in my silver and black steed to his house again to finish up the sprinkler and drip systems. Whoever did the original confusing systems should have "put the pipe down and stepped away".

 

Good job Garrett!

I'd rep. you, but I'm out of ammo.

 

So am I! Thanks for reminding me Gavin! I need to go buy more 12ga. Haha
