Incase anyone is interested in knowing, the MANN 950/4 filters WILL fit on top of a GlowShift Oil Pressure Gauge Sandwich Adapter. I have an aired cooled system so no easy plugs to convert for use.

My Readings with Rotella 15w40 are:

Cold: 45 PSI at Idle 52 PSI 2000 RPM

Hot: 28 PSI at Idle 52 PSI 2000 RPM

Are these normal readings?



Obviously not done, wires just hanging for testing.

 

 

I would say your in good shape with those numbers.

 

What about your engine noises after all the work?

 

The lower end knock is gone, it was the main bearings. In the process I did the rod bearings, timing chain, & oil pump. In searching some more I see these oil PSI number seem to be good for a disco 2.

Next I'm doing the camshaft, lifters, rocker arms and shafts. That should take care of the upper diesel sounding tick. Getting closer to a full rebuild.

 

What is the model number on the Glow shift adapter.

 

re: That should take care of the upper diesel sounding tick.

It is common for a slipped cylinder sleeve to make a tick, usually starting when warmed up. Hope that is not the case, but others have pinned the liners and stopped the tick.

Understood. I did pin cylinder #1 while changing the main bearings as it was suspect. But the tick is right at cold start up. It's not bad, but I bought the truck as a project and planed to do as much of a rebuild as I can so it's all on the list anyway

 

I read somewhere that some part of the suspension (maybe the axle itself?) would crush the filter with that extension.

You think it'll clear?

 

Been using this filter for months on and off road. No problems. It's tucked in right behind the frame and only protrudes down less than a half an inch. This picture says it all:
