Steve, I used a Mecca oil filter (and fuel filter) on my TR-4 race car.
Used it for many years (15-20?) without a problem. I used 2 mechanical
oil pressure gages, one picking up the pressure as it came out of the oil
pump, and the other picking up the pressure at the rear of the oil galley
(where it goes into the rear main bearing - i.e. lowest pressure point).
Any time I saw more than 10 lbs. of pressure differential between the 2
gages, I knew it was time to change the cartridge. I also used a Mecca
accusump, and attributed my engine's longevity to the accusump and Mecca
filter (among other things).

Now that left coast racing is wrapped up for VARA, we too shall delve into
improvements for next season. BTW, Mordy sells short the Friday practice
in
Las Vegas. While he was driving around in his killer Tractor, the rest of
E-tickets was RACING to follow him and had about the most fun of the
season!
What a great way to start a great weekend!! (And I know what Mordy's
secret
RPM was if bribes are forthcoming...;-}} ).
Anyway, to business
I've been running a Canton Mecca remote oil filter because it is easily
inspected. Unfortunately it got plugged on Saturday and dropped oil
pressure. Studying options this morning led to a couple of questions about
filtering and flow.
Does anybody know what the typical flow rate is from a Triumph pump??
What oil filters are the others using?
What is a reasonable filtering size? 1 micron? 8 microns? How about 180
micron mesh??
All thoughts and observations are welcomed. TIA, Steve
