Thanks Andrew,

Hadn't thought of that. Now I need to find out what I've done.

I have the standard base mounted on a 3/4" thick adapter plate with the 
base rotated 180 deg, so top of filter pointed down rather than up.

So I think I have all the oil flowing through the filter :(

Recommendation for a bigger filter that will fit the base?

Finn

                  <div>Finn. The little filters work fine as long as you
                    have not modified the oil flowpath from the
                    original design.  Most of the pump output bypasses
                    the filter and goes straight back to the sump via
                    the relief valve. It is a smart design in that all
                    pump output goes through the heat exchanger for
                    cooling capacity but only the oil required by the
                    oil gallery is filtered. Some users do modify their
                    system to filter all the pump output, but this
                    requires a much bigger filter and is kind of
                    overkill.</div>
