Virginiafiretruck Shop Shark V Joined: Jan 2005 Posts: 1,602 Maple, North Carolina	here are a couple of pictures that show the 1/16" restriction that I found in my return to the engine oil line from the filter: http://rides.webshots.com/photo/2486684590080243953jOoyuc It is no wonder my crankshaft and bearings were scored and making noise. I'm glad I discovered this before it happened again... I've added 1/2" oil line connections in the replacement.
