[QUOTE="Vince Farrell, post: 55885, member: 148"] Felt filters were the best available in 1946, that’s why Vincents fitted them. Nearly 70yrs later I suspect that most car and motorcycle manufacturers’ put paper filters in their motors. Does anyone know of the felt type still being used? Felt fibres tend to find their way all over a Vincent engine, in extreme cases combining with sludge and crap to make effective plugs in unwanted places. Peter B shows concern about the possibility of paper rupture. Unlike most motors, Vincents pump oil through the filter from the outside, V3 filters feature a metal cage on both inside and outside the paper to accommodate this unusual flow direction.
