Re: Does my '56 Clipper needs an oil filter?

Given all the lifter and oil pressure problems I think not having the filter might be better because the passage is plugged.

This sounds like leaving my engine as-is (sans oil filter) may not be a bad option. If I do leave the engine without an oil filter, then how long should I go between oil changes? I've been changing the oil approximately every 1,500 miles. If I do decide to install an oil filter, then can I go longer between oil changes? If so, then what's recommended?

I also like the idea of analyzing the oil, between changes, to determine specific locations of engine wear.
