Thanks NH, I'm not one for cutting up original parts, but
that's one of the least most destructive modifications
that we've seen here.
Some others really hacked up their oil bath filter housing.
The E-4583 filter is a bit pricey but I see that it can be
cleaned and reused, clean it 10 times and it's cost is
reduced to less than a McDonald's kiddie meal.
I just know someone is going to post the bit about that filter
being for an 18 hp, 42 cu.in. lawnmower engine, and that the
surface area is not adequate for a 216 or 235 cu.in. Chevy
engine. But.....I've run the smaller CarQuest 83373 filter in the
spark arrestor that I linked to on my 216 and it ran just
fine for many thousands of miles.
