Cool toys I picked up today..

[Steve1968LS2]

Was at two shops today that mill their own stuff. Mezeire and Pure Power..

At Power plus I got my oiling system.. they were the only guys that made a cool adaptor so I could run a remote oil filter. God, I love billet and industrial looking stuff..

I have been looking for something like this for a while. I didn't like the idea of tweaking a truck unit to work and I couldn't believe there wasn't a simple screw on method.

Found this from a company in Huntington Beach, CA, called Pure Power. The founder is a racer for the last 40 something years and they make a lot of mil spec oils and filters for the military. Recently he has started making stuff for cars as well (has made filters for govt stuff for years.. very cool stuff)

Anyways. We messed around and found this worked perfectly on f-body, vett and GTO oil pans.. Thought some people here would find this useful.

Their filter are sweet.. last forever (cleanable) and actually filter the oil unlike paper filters (didn't know that the oil doesn't go through the paper.. just flows over it..) These are used in many racing bodies like NASCAR and such. If you look close you can see the tiny rare-earth magnets embedded in the mesh. Anyways, I'm pretty happy to have my oiling system sorted out.

Oh, the filter bodies come in smooth and ridged. The ridged design dissapates heat out of the oil better. You can also get just a filter to hook to your pan, but I like the remote deal. Last thing.. the filter can be had with or without a built in bypass.



Cool macro shot..
