In the last pic on the right you can see some thing has built up on the out side of the Filter element showing that the Filter is working.

D911, think I'm going to use your idea for a return line, makes perfect reasoning!
That way the return is giving extra lubrication to the chain, some may make it around & back to the top of the engine.

What is the thread & size of that bolt? Did you replace the bolt w a fitting?

Thanks,

Since the time I did mine I found an old thread by one of our Members who used the Plug on the Fuel Injection Pump Governor for the return Oil.
That is easier to do and it is fat enough for a 1/8" pipe threads.
All that nice clean Oil goes inside of the Fuel Injection Pump.

When I did the Bolt on mine I removed it used my Thread Gauge and to find the size and bought another Bolt.
The diameter of the Bolt is too small for a 1/8" pipe tap so I drilled out the Bolt and JB Welded a 1/4 inch Tube in side of it to act as the Nipple.
