I've tried poking and drilling the bypass valve through the holes, its not easily done.
Price is a factor as these things sludge up pretty quickly from cold starts and the water vapor involved from what I have seen. If I was to spend serious money, it needs to have a drain valve at the bottom.
Its being used inline on a 3/8" PCV line. Current el cheapo oil filters work perfectly other than that dreaded "hum" I have learned that the smaller seperators (like discussed elsewhere on this site) do not work as well since the airflow is so high. Once the airflow comes up on the smaller seperators, the spinning of the oil collected at the bottom spins and rises up high enough to be sucked out.
I have thought about using a Chevy spec filter and remote mount, problem is I already have 4 of the PH8A spec mounts.
