Using the full flow oil canister by pass, have run twice, so far maybe the lifers are about 50% quieter, will rum more over the next two days. Just received today a Packard Oil Canister made by Motor Improvements Inc. Has the inlet at the bottom, and outlet at top side of canister. But, still oil comes in from a small hole in the center pipe, flows inside out of the filter, then to the outlet at top side canister. So no matter how a canister is labeled it seems to flow from inside to outside of filter element. Don't see how this will give me any more flow than the one I originally have on the car. I can drill another hole in the center pipe to give more flow that way, good idea? This canister also came with what looks like a ceramic filter,any ideas on that? Even though it states for Packard, still wrong canister?
Thanks so much. Todd
