It will take the big chunks out, and aftermarket suppliers used to 
sell a kit for doing this.  If you look at modern toilet paper in 
the sun and bang it a little on the wall you will see a cloud of 
dust come off it.  This is powder, probably very fine silica or limestone,
that is put on it to make it smell good, absorb water, and a few 
other things.

There was a thread a few years ago on this that should be in the 
archives.

New honest to God oil filters usually run around $3.00 in places 
like Wal Mart or your local discount store.  If you have a rare one,
it may cost you a little more at a FLAPS.  Still not the place to 
save significant dollars.  Most people use only one or two a year 
on a classic.

In short, not in MY engine.
