Moderator / Editor NOTE : this thread about the oiling system on a 261 engine was extracted from another thread that went in another direction.

The information and discussion was considered worthwhile enough that I moved/merged the information into this thread here.

If it looks a little off in some places, that is why...

Enjoy.

Did you have the remote filter hooked up, or at least have a hose going between the the two threaded ports in the block designed for the remote filter?
