Randy, thanks for the info on oil filters. You are correct on all counts.
The car with the loud noise at start up is in fact a VW Vanagon (air cooled).
The reason my B took about 10 seconds to get up to pressure is because
some bozo (aka PO) used a yankee tranny cooler for an oil cooler and fitted
the "oil-from-the-engine" tube to the TOP inlet of the
cooler. So when you turned off the engine all the oil drained back into
the sump. I got a different cooler and reversed the tubes and great oil
pressure in a split second.
I'm gonna change the oil filter (Amsol) to a "normal" one and see what
happends. And I'm gonna fit an oil gauge.
Cheers Dennis
