A couple of years ago I  installen one on my AH 62 3000 MkII.  After
installing 
it there was no oil pressure.  I removed it made sure I installed
it correctly 
and re-installed it making sure the holes lined up in the
correct position, 
filled the filter with oil.  Again no oil pressure.  I then
re-installed the OEM 
oil filter and I once again had normal oil pressure.  I
then removed the OEM oil 
filter and re-installed the spin-on with the filter
full of oil.  I removed the 
oil line from the back of the Oil Pressure gage. 
Started the engine and there 
was no oil coming out of the oil pressure line. 
Re-installed the OEM filter and 
started the engine.  In less than two seconds
oil spurted out of the oil 
pressure line.  Attached the oil pressure line
and started the engine again.  
Normal Oil Pressure.  


Go figure.  I have no
explanation.  I do have a spin on oil filter on my 
100-6 with which I've
never had a problem.

Has
anyone experienced a slight drop in oil pressure (3-5lbs) when they
installed
the Moss spin on oil filter adapter?
