that is 175 degrees Farenheit NOT celsius
130F = 55C [far as My thermometer goes.. lol]
as the USA still use farenheit - Gallons - Quarts - pints etc..
and MIles per Hour... lol

Yeah I know :-)!
However, apparently the yanks have started using Litre's a lot more frequently then quarts, but I still think they buy their fuel by the
Gallon.............which is a Yank Gallon too, not our version of a Gallon :-)!

Hi
The only problem with a full flow setup is that they often blow oil filters, mostly in cold areas.

Yeah, read about that.
But I came across a GeneBerg product that apparently gets around that.
They do an Oil Pump cover for a full flow system which apparently keeps that pressure through the lines at 125psi, which, if true, should hopefully
stop me blowing apart oil filters.....................that sounds messy :-)!
# GB 241 from memory.
HOWEVER.................really looks like the only way to do this properly, is to drill and tap an oil gallery if I am looking at a full flow
system...............As I am not overly keen on tearing down my engine to drill and tap it, as it is really not needed right now - think I will
probably just go something like this for the moment so I can at least add an oil filter.
