The oil strainers on the 100 motor is quite prone to getting squished, I
tried to find a used one, but they were all squished and broken.
Some of the new ones do not fit, they curl they lip on the bottom down and
it hits the pan when you try to install it. I got a well made one from the
Nocks at Brit Car Specialists.
If a piece or pieces of metal falls off your engine and into the sump the
screen could be all that saves your motor from an expansive rebuild, I would
not consider putting a broken oil strainer screen on a motor or leaving it
off altogether.
