I found a supplier who had a bunch of these filters I have been making flow check devices into. I think I bought more than I will ever use so I will offer the rest for $33 shipped to anywhere in the US . Although I have never seen one get the glass broken I have found a clear vinyl cover for added protection against debris damage. They all have the usual super magnets and larger flow ports . A crutial device for quick checks on how your engine is pumping oil and what is in the oil . If you dont have an updated crank yet this will let you know when the last few hours have arrived. It also gets steel particles that can get stuck in your oil pump check valve and cause the dreaded hydrolock problem.

Extra oil flow sight glass.
wistech,
what lines are you mounting these between? i think i want one.....im always checking the level simply by looking for the size of the "water fall" in the filler hole. for what ever reason....probably just over fill, even though i've tried many differnt ways im always letting some go from the vent at the valve cover after wide open runs... mostly when riding in the dunes. all my oil lines are good and pumps, etc. i've built this engine from the ground up. i've got a hose from the vent running down where the battery used to be mounted; thats where she does her dirty work. i'd like one of these not only to see the quality of oil, but i assume the flow as well....let me know....

There are pics in the trick little items thread. Ill post some when i get home. It takes about 2 minuts to install in the scavange line. They are not for checking oil level but oil flow to be sure the engine is actually using the oil thats in it. If your scavange pumps stop working you will know in a few seconds what the problem is or if you have coolant in the oil the window will turn milky . For the guys that use these they are a pretty cool thing to watch in action as well. Just a churning oil festival . Not as cool as watching whats going on through the valve cover windows though.

oh any pics of where its mounted?
It mounts in the long molded rubber hose that goes from next to the oil drain plug up to the frame on the right side of the motor. This is the line where the scavenge pump pushes the oil (in a hurry) back to the frme tank.
