Next round of ecomodds.
I think I'm going to upgrade the hydraulic filter. It has a 14gpm pump @ 3,600rpm. The hydraulic filter head has 1 inch by 12tpi threads, built in bypasse. The filter on it is a 15gpm, 25 micron 99% efficiency with a 45 micron absolute, very standard 3.66 by 5 inches holds about 1 quart volume, uses paper filter media and has an unknown built-in bypass.
I'm going to see if I can get what I think is a military spec filter, a wix A31A06GA it's about double the size 3.75 by 9 has about a 2.5qt volume. Does "up to 22gpm” has a crazy temperature range of -13 to +246F, filters 6 micron at 99% and 20 micron absolute, uses fiberglass media. I don't even know if I can get it.
If not, then a very common wix hydraulic filter 57123 will work, it's a big hydraulic filter with 8 micron 99% and 25 micron absolute. 3.66 inches by almost 9 inches long.
Neither one has a bypass.
For the engine I think I will throw on a timing advance key. Might do a thin head gasket too and bump that compression a bit. Add an hour meter tachometer and turn up the RPMs to 3,800 to 4,000.
