By-pass oil filter?

[mbulriss]

Does anyone have one of the old by-pass oil filter set-ups that can
verify where Bird tapped into for the feed and return lines? I have a
couple of new bypass filter set-ups in the garage that I may add to
help keep the oil clean. These are newer style bypass units with
spin-on filters, not that old tank unit with the messy internal filter
cartridges, like were installed as an option in some of the old Birds.

I was looking at the Bird while searching for that air suspension
problem. It appears that I can use one of the spare ports on that oil
feed manifold that they were kind enough to build in to install the
oil pressure and oil temp sensors and aux rear oil gauge (like Ryan
just added). From there, it seems like I can tap into the output side
of the bulk oil fill line for the return. Since the oil manifold and
they bulk oil return line are close to each other, it would make the
plumbing quite easy. It will take longer to find the hose and
plumbing fittings than the actual install. Harder part is figuring
where to mount the filters.

Anybody see any problems there?

Whew, I starting to feel like the Kurt/Curt crowd... LOL!
