Re: Oil pressure question
Yes, WIX makes NAPA filters. I guess if the filter clogged up, the Spring would allow the element to move back to allow it to bypass. I also have an Allen plug in the filter mount bypass hole.

Re: Oil pressure question
I found some vv205 for 5.80 per quart. That's cheap enough to scare me away. I gotta call Valvoline and learn how to tell if it's a Chinese knock off before I put it in the engine. Maybe I could send in a sample to see if the numbers match Valvoline's.

My cylinder walls, bearings, and Intake pushrods ends do as well as anything I have used. I will keep using it, thanks. With 1015 lbs open pressure and 1.8-1 rockers, not all oil I have used has done as well. Ron says it's cheap Chinese crap. :-) I use 10W30 @ 40 psi.

Re: Oil pressure question
For the street I use Mobil 1 5-30 which is a Dexos equivalent . Lately for racing I have been using Joe Gibbs racing oil , and Wix racing filters . I have not had any oil related problems with either oils . The Mobil 1 oil works fine as a racing oil in my 454 Super Stock engine , but changed to the Joe Gibbs stuff just so my break-in oil was the same brand as my race oil .
