RR;

The by-pass filters filtered only about 28% (less that one third) of the engine's oil @ 15 PSI. They were not much of a hazard under those conditions.

The unit were discussing filters 100% of engine oil, 30-40 PSI @ 180+/- degrees F. This was routed next to an exhaust manifold where all 6 cylinders fed into @ 1,000 degrees +/-.

As you can see, this is a totally different situation.

What the motion picture industry portrays in TV & film is done with professional pyrotechnics and has no bearing on our disscussion.

Thanks for your imput and I'm glad you never had bad luck with your leaks. \:\)
