RE: my 3/11/08 post "bypass oil filter" ( Silver Hawk, 57H-C3,289)
I have scoured the shop manual but cannot find a photo of where the inlet/outlet tubes or pipes to the oil filter mtg. base plate attach.
Mine has a small (about .125" OD) tube running from the crankcase filler pipe over to the cylinder head. Per the manual, the inlet pipe connects to the cylinder head, and outlet pipe returns oil to the crankcase filler tube. It appears that the existing tube was incorrectly routed from filler tube to cyl. head, and other line omitted. Does anyone have a photo or in-depth verbal description of the correct installation they can share with me ? I will fabricate new line(s) if no Studebaker part(s) exists.
Again, Thanks to all for your assistance.
