Originally Posted By: Silver02ex Media blowing out? Let me guss, you heard ST and you just assume it was an E-core. The one SW99 posted, was a 6607 which has metal end caps and metal center. So the chance of the media blowing out is as good as Napa Proselect or Purolator classic. I bet most...

Originally Posted By: AuthorEditor What I don't understand with that earlier report of the overpressurized Ecore is that in my understanding all Ecores have a built in bypass valve. It's that special ADBV/bypass thingy that somehow opens further to let the oil bypass if the pressure differential...

I don't think I'd run any filter that is that old ... even if it looks OK. Not worth the risk of a failure and possible engine damage IMO.

Originally Posted By: ThirdeYe I don't understand the 14610 vs. 14459 recommendation. They're interchangeable filters, it seems like they'd want to just produce one to save costs. They are interchangeable filters due to the research of the "filter freaks" on BITOG, but not to the filter...

Based on the Motorcraft FL-822 (an L14610 clone), the media area should be around 95 sq-in. Not sure about the thickness. I'd like to know of the PureONE 14610 has more media area. If you have time, measure the area ... you can do it by just measuring the pleat depth and doing an area calculation.

Originally Posted By: mechanicx All I'm saying even if the filter did see beyond spec 80 psid, the wide gaps on the nylon cage and fiber end caps don't seem to make the filter element as a system as strong as metal end caps and a metal center tube with tight spacing, despite the nylon cage...

Originally Posted By: mechanicx We been through this before. Typically psid with cold oil from the tests we have actually seen are in the 20-30 psid region tops, not 80 psid. 80 psid is a lot of pressure that few BBC pumps would put out. As superbusa points outs not a lot of flow is likely to be...

Where's the blown out media ??
