I saw it on here once, long time ago, couldnt find it again, what is the difference to look for on the 673 oil filter can to determine if its a full flow or bypass? thanks,,,randy Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/13906-painted-the-engine-for-my-b/#findComment-55154 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 Sweeeeeettt!!! I saw it on here once, long time ago, couldnt find it again, what is the difference to look for on the 673 oil filter can to determine if its a full flow or bypass? thanks,,,randyThe full flow is physically larger in length and has three hoses out of the bottom. One of the hoses is considerably smaller than the other two. Also I believe all the full flow filtered engines used an external oil cooler on the left side of the engine.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

Hopefully you have a "tight"engine so it doesn't leak oil all over but that would not be my luck.Anxious to see photos of your progress.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

Mike Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 ajt, I'm trying to catch up from being off the web-site. The 673 looks GREAT! i'll be glad when I can do the same to mine. I've noticed that my valve cover must have been chrome or an aluminum finish but is dull. I'll buff it out and most likely leave it the natural finish when the time comes. I look forward in seeing the future results of your truck...be sure to post photo's of different angles. mike Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/13906-painted-the-engine-for-my-b/#findComment-55539 Share on other sites More sharing options...
