  • Whats the # for the large AC Delco Filter?

    I was looking for the Large AC Delco Filter for our 3.8 Engines... The one where you can fit about .2 extra cts of oil... What was it? PF47 or PF52? or what?

    PF47 is the normal, PF52 is the oversize.

      I like the pf52 myself for my 96 3.8L. I guess I feel a bit more secure with the extra filtration.

        True, I don't see any reason to go with the stock size on our cars. The horizontal mount means that road debris won't catch it any easier, and even with my 36mm sway bar there's no clearance issues.

          If you ask me I like the 52's alot better also. Im like hockeyman, I feel a little more secure knowing I have a large oil filter. I have a 3.4 liter and also have no clearance issues with the larger filter. For a little better piece of mind I stick magnets on my oil filter also to help trap alot of metal shavings in the filter so they dont stay inside the engine.

            At the end of Part Three, we changed the valvetrain of the 3.8-liter V6 in the Tom Henry RS. We installed new, Yella Terra "Ultralite" 1.8:1, aluminum roller rocker arms, Katech valve springs and Katech titanium retainers on our 3800 Series II V6.
            Ultralites are nearly 25% lighter than the stock 1.6 rockers and 8% lighter than the SLP aluminum...
