| Kettle Custodian (pot stirrer) Joined: Feb 2004 Posts: 29,776 | The restrictor size used in the conventional canister filter is 1/16". If a spin-on filter is substituted for that type it also needs a restrictor in the system or the engine bearings will be starved for oil from the volume going through the filter and back into the oil pan. I use a Holly carburetor jet with a 1/16" hole in it as a restrictor if someone insists on a spin-on filter installation. Jerry
