Rich,
I also have the remote single filter mounted behind the left headlight
(courtesy of the PO) similar to the one that Ed Schafer described in
his post about that setup having a hose come loose. So far, for me, it
works really well if for no other reason than easy oil changes (also
has a cooler in-line).
I'm especially grateful to Ed Schafer for this alert to potential
problems with this setup - I'll keep an eye on those fittings from now
on, and my condolences, ED, on having to rebuild that motor.
This is the reason why I feel that an "idiot" light for oil pressure is
more important than just having a gauge. A red light is more likely to
be quickly noticed than a casual swing to zero of an inconspicuous
gauge. Use both. Something we used down on the farm years ago was a
pressure switch that cut power to the coil if there was a drop in oil
pressure, but that requires an override switch that had to be activated
every time you started the engine. Just a thought.
