Thanks Gary, Does this setup return the oil from the TP filter to then flow through the full-flow? Joe

I have never so much as seen one of these "sandwich" adapters but if it still uses the full-flow filter couldn't the output to the bypass filter be plugged and no harm done? Joe

I have ample experience driving a 3020 (also an International Hydro 70) for my neighbor when I was a teenager back in the early 70's. It certainly is a lot more tractor than my 28 hp Jinma; so much more in fact that it won't even fit in many of the places that I need my tractor to go. Not...

Well, Lars is from der Olde Kountry and I cannot recall if they were EVER enemies, so that may not be a hindrance to him. As for me, which Asian tractor did I want to buy? There haven't been any new American made compact tractors for something like 30 years now in the less-than 60 hp class. The...

I have owned a Jinma-284 tractor for six years now, have about 600 hours on it and am quite satisfied. If you are willing/qualified to do your own maintenance they are truly a bargain; well-built, powerful, fuel efficient, and sturdy. If, however, one is the type to snivel because a bolt is...

Oil pressure is highly over-rated; enough is all you need. But on a turbo'd engine oil temps can be crucial. If your oil temp is good your pressure will also be ok.

Originally Posted By: Tempest How does an engine make different horsepower at the same rev's regardless of what oil is in it?? Easy. Less drag enables the BMEP to go up even if the positive pressure remains the same.

Originally Posted By: Doug Hillary Hi, I can confirm that 20w-20 lubricants were quite popular in the 1950s-1960s In Scandinavia I used them as a winter lubricant in VW, Porsche, Benz, Saab V4 (Ford Taunus), Opel, Volvo and etc. vehicles with great success About then (mid 1960s) I commenced...

One of the forum members over at http://www.speedtalk.com works at a place that uses pressure sensors to measure what's happening inside combustion chambers during operation. There is an amazingly wide spread of the dynamics both within a cylinder and between cylinders even on an engine that is...
