Hi Alan,



no, I am a traditionalist and use the original filter. I will check if
the ball in the Tecalemit housing seats properly. Nevertheless a very
interesting hint.....many thanks





Regards





Thomas

Thomas -



Did you put on a spin on oil filter adaptor?  If so, you should use a
filter that has an anti-drainback valve.  Fram PH43 is a number I know
offhand.



Sounds to me the oil galleries are running dry because the filter
doesn't have a drainback valve on it.



Try that.

Since the complete rebuild of my engine I encounter a valve clatter
every time when starting the engine from cold. To be more precise,
"cold" means when the engine has stood overnight and has reached ambient
temperatures. After 30 seconds the clatter stops. It sounds like valve
clatter from one valve only. Any suggestions?
