Re: [DML] Purflux xref

[Marc Levy <malevy_nj@xxxxxxxxx>]

I also looked in to this a few months back.  I was
trying to find a WIX filer, but never completed my
project.

What I did learn is the LS410C has *NO* bypass, and
*NO* anti-drain back.  It is essentially a straight
hydraulic filter.  

Since then, I have been told (someone can correct me
if I am wrong) that the PRV has no internal bypass
valve.  Keeping that in mind, the LS410C is there for
a BAD choice for our engines because it has no safety
mechanism.

Wix makes a good quality filter, and they are
reasonably priced.  They also sell under the NAPA GOLD
brand name.  One of these days I will continue that
research (unless someone else wants to).
