Subject: Re: oil suction mesh
I have put it back in without mesh so far. I increased that one hole by about 2mm in diameter, then it is about the inner diameter of the suction tube to the oil pump. I asked a company for a quote for a custom built metal edge filter tube (as an alternative to a simple mesh) with 0.2mm gap (as an example), this would cost 135 EUR per piece when ordering 3, quite reasonable price. But finally I decided it worked well before without and I might improve for the worse. At the moment I have to reduce the spring of the oil pressure relieve walve a bit (pressure cold with a 20/50 oil is 55psi and when hot in fast idle above 40)
