Centrifuge

[USN_Green_Addict]

Yes I have used the search function and read through the past posts. So I'm on the fence about buying a bypass centrifuge with the hope it can help my 66 multifuel engine will last just a bit longer. The only possible issue I read without a answer is what gph rating is best and/or will what models are better for not starving the engine by taking away oil pressure?

I have seen these work. The goo that comes out is remarkable.

There are a couple of different units, .8, 1 and 2 gpm

Well, if its a bypass filter, who cares? It will spin along cleaning the oil that passes through it.

Looks like it might be something good to add, but a bit expensive thou. Keep us updated on how it works and how easy or hard it is to install.

Thanks

Easy to install, plumb a line from a main oil rifle to the spinner and from there back to the sump, not necessarily the pan, just to a hole into the crankcase, you could even return to the v/c if needed. It is just a bypass filter, the orifices in the spinner will regulate the flow so it doesn't rob the rifle of necessary flow and pressure.

Remember Frantz Oil filters?

I got a quote from frantz their recommended set up was $500 ish found a spinner 2 for about $200

I run a centrifuge on my truck you will not lose any oil pressure. If the centrifuge is too big it won't clean properly a 65gph one works great on a multi fuel. You can gravity drain it with some fittings on the turbo drain or use an air drain.

How much psi comes out of the oil test/sample port?

It's the same there is a pressure relief valve that I believe can be adjusted I think it's on the turbo side of the motor you'd have to check the TMs. Every motor may have pressure differences depending on how's it's set. 60 to 70 psi while under load should be sufficient. Also flow rate plays a part in a centrifuges operation.

I've thought about adding a bypass filter to a few things. The Frantz seems solid in it's concept, but I'm sure it's a mess to service. The centrifuge seems to be the best idea?
