[Healeys] Valve clatter when cold on 100

[Alan Seigrist]

Thomas -

Did you put on a spin on oil filter adaptor?  If so, you should use a filter
that has an anti-drainback valve.  Fram PH43 is a number I know offhand.

Sounds to me the oil galleries are running dry because the filter doesn't
have a drainback valve on it.

Try that.
