I am planning to put an oil filter on the cam gear cover. My question is Is this a good system and what kind of changes do I have to do to the oil system? I'm using a balanced crank, rabbit mains and insert rods. The crank comes out of the Screwed up H & H engine with a screwed up rear main. The thrust washer was mover to the center main cap only. Do I need to pressurize my main or stay gravity feed. If I need to pressurize the mains, how do I go about that. If I don't hear back on this I'll just go drip lube mains and no one but me will ever know. Drip mains has lasted 88 years. Shelby, Sacramento
PS Thanks for all the In put

Re: Oil filter on timing gear cover
I don't know nothing about the timing gear oil filter. I see that no one here knows anything either. So I'll figure out what benefits the filter does and I WILL NOT let anyone know my findings GOOD-BY

Re: Oil filter on timing gear cover
I've heard of a valve cover oil filter but never a timing cover oil filter.

Re: Oil filter on timing gear cover
Interesting. Looks like it is just a timing cover with a place to mount a filter cast into it, all
the plumbing appears to be external.

Re: Oil filter on timing gear cover
That's it. Dumps clean oil onto the timing gear and into the pan.
