Thanks Roachie - yes mine has 2 identical (ryco Z503).
The other version you mention uses one Z503 and one Z416.
It was explained to me that the engine is designed for the rear to have a bypass, and the Z416 is a combination full flow plus bypass.
It filters to 25 micron (not much of a difference).
I had exactly the same concern - starting with 2 full flow at 40l/min, and changing to one fullflow and one bypass - must loose some flow rate. I have spoken to a Steve Clifton at
Bridgewater Radiators in SA (08 8339 3731) who has run this set-up for over 100,000ks, and seems OK.
Your setup is the best. I may even go that way later, but the cost is around $380 plus install. Might have a talk with mechanic before getting the nipple option.
.....Off to Innaminca and
Coongie lakes tommorrow for 3 weeks, so won't be on line.
