High Speed Oil FIlter Hose Clamp Testers.....

[Gimpster]

 I have been kicking this idea around for a while now and since INEX requires hose clamps on oil filters, I need some volunteer testers for your input over the winter months. I am in search of info on statistics like torque, HP, installation tips of preference, safety, best clamp screw position for aerodynamics, safety wire wear predictions on double gasket oil filters, rotation of the infragnated capitulator and so on... and the real question - wouldn't duct tape be the same cure ? (I am amazed that we are not required to wrap duct tape around the filter/mount mating surface to keep oil from spraying onto the track, anyone test this theory yet ?)

Also in the machine shop agenda... has anybody been installing duct tape over the fuel cap to make sure it has been properly installed and not lost on the speedway while burning laps ?? This could be a tech issue...
Please chime in and add your name to the list..relax, IT"S FREE !! (don't cost a dime)

1. Gimpster ( added left side weight tester)
2 Justfreaky Steve (under 2 dollar tester)
3. VMS Motorsports (Titanium patent tester)
4. Iracelegends77 (lower motor absrobency tester)
5. WIGGLES84 (product test thread tester)
6. ??

(list will be updated as volunteers chime in)

Thanks

 I will chime first .. I think they should add 10 pounds to the left side max weight rule to allow for at least 10 pounds of safety wire !

Seriously?!!!!
Gimp; It's a $2.00 solution to people who use the wrong filter.
Let it go.
Better than no fix at all and people whining because they don't know.

 Come on Steve, it's all in fun. Just adding character to the board is all.... not like I was all #@&%* type deal my friend.. lol
 
Want me to put you on the list for an 'under 2 dollar tester' ?

I'm developing a titanium oil filter clamp tether kit, $199.95 should be retail price point.
Will be much lighter than a $2.00 clamp and safety wire...stronger too.
I have a pending US utility patent and 2 US design patents, so stay away G, or you're going to jail.

I really didn't know this was a problem? I have never seen anyone lose a oil filter but I have only been doing this for 12 years. Maybe they should require us to put a diaper under the motor because when the blow they usually punch a big hole right under the headers. But motor are not a problem.....LOL

Scott,
 Over the years, I've heard of seveal instances of the filter comming loose. As Jim posted earlier; Usually due to getting the wrong thread ptch on the oil filter.

Gimp,
 I know you are making light.

Jim,

Only 199.95?!!! If I order now will I get a second one free? Plus shipping and handeling of course.

 Steve.. tell Jim that you will test it for under 2 bucks !! (that's your department)

~Gimp~

[justfreaky]

Perhaps I can get Jim to sponsor me and I'll be more than happy to test it for him.
Of course I use Oberg filters so have no real use. But hey, could happen.

You see.. this was not a high speed oil filter hose clamp.

I believe it was too hung over.

Then again 10 pounds of safety wire might have helped avoid the blowout ! (Speculation from my department anyway)



Make sure you apply today to be a high speed oil filter clamp tester and you won't miss out on any updates !!

A hose clamp and safety won't fix stupid even if its in the rule book.
