Thanks for the input. Oil pressure is very consistent cold and when warmed up, acts like it should, has lost zero oil in the past 9 months since the mods which I also feel good about. Yup I live on M.I. right outside Seattle right now. The car has 45K on it now and all seems well. That cam was...

I don't think that is normal or acceptable, especially in a filter meant for extended OCI's. It would not happen on say their bike filters where they have a steel tube running down the middle or some other filters that use metal reinforcements inside. I use M1 EP spin on filters and will be...
