This indicates a difference in construction - and what the difference is I don't know. I like the concept of a larger filter, just have my doubts as to why it doesn't allow "pre-filling".
Any thoughts on that?  |
You could disconnect the ignitor before you actually start the engine.
This allows the bearings to get pre-oiled before you add the pressure of a running engine.
I always do this after the oil pump gets replaced or resealed.
