Also, every engine experiences a dry start unless you pre-oil (Accusump or similar), and doesn't appreciably degrade bearings because the loads are so light during startup.

Your reasoning is sound, but this is something we talk about with everyone that buys a swap kit or remote oil filter mount, and we've done hundreds over the years.

BOOM HEAD SHOT !!!


My 13b filter is upside down never once had a issue with it.

GLWS Wish i would of held onto my ls 240.
