A couple of years ago I installen one on my AH 62 3000 MkII. After
installing
it there was no oil pressure. I removed it made sure I installed
it correctly
and re-installed it making sure the holes lined up in the
correct position,
filled the filter with oil. Again no oil pressure. I then
re-installed the OEM
oil filter and I once again had normal oil pressure. I
then removed the OEM oil
filter and re-installed the spin-on with the filter
full of oil. I removed the
oil line from the back of the Oil Pressure gage.
Started the engine and there
was no oil coming out of the oil pressure line.
Re-installed the OEM filter and
started the engine. In less than two seconds
oil spurted out of the oil
pressure line. Attached the oil pressure line
and started the engine again.
Normal Oil Pressure.
Go figure. I have no
explanation. I do have a spin on oil filter on my
100-6 with which I've
never had a problem.

Subject: [Healeys] Spin on oil filter
Has
anyone experienced a slight drop in oil pressure (3-5lbs) when they
installed
the Moss spin on oil filter adapter?
