    Metal mesh oil filters

    Anyone using this style oil filter? K&P offers their S21 filter for S54s. Everything I have read about them in use on other engines has been first rate.

    Information is power. I posted pictures on a FB thread about this. A Honda K24 race engine ate a rod bearing. NONE of the trash got to the cylinder head. It filters to 10 microns which is what WIX and Mahle filters do. But, almost no resistance to oil flow.
