Background
This document aims to provide some information regarding the NASCO accessory oil filters fitted to FB and EK Holdens. It contains: historical information, such as which filters were advertised for different model Holdens, practical information on identification, disassembly and reassembly of FB and EK Holden filters, and guidance on replacement parts and overhaul techniques. It contains answers to many of the questions that seem to come up routinely on most of the early Holden forums:
“Where do I connect the hoses to?” “What filter cartridge can I use?”
ert my grey motor to full- flow “Can I conv ert flow filtration?” The FB and EK Holden Nasco oil filters that are the subject of this document are canister type bypass filters. Whilst this document is primarily related to the FB and EK Holden NASCO oil filters, much of the information is similar or identical to other early Holden oil filters. Please bear in mind that the NASCO oil filters are more than half a century old, and that very little documentation is known to exist other than references in parts manuals, installation instructions and Accelerator magazines (despite much hunting by enthusiasts, and both FE/FC and FB/EK Clubs). Much of the information below is drawn from internet forums, discussion with enthusiasts and common sense. I have used photos and other information from a wide variety of sources, particularly from the forums – if anyone is offended by my use of the material, feels I have breached copyright or needs recognition, please let me know and I will correct the issue immediately. I would however like to thank the following for their patience and willingness to help me learn:
Tim Gall (who has pulled pull ed apart, put together, broken and fixed more FB/EK gear than most), Ken Mclean (whose knowledge of FE/FC Holdens is formidable). Richi Morgan (installation instructions) A host of the forum guys for photos and info – including Chris Moy who’s collection of humpy NASCO gear is pretty cool.
Equally, I have made opinions and drawn conclusions on some of the information I have found and equipment I have owned - if anyone believes that I have made an error (or knows a better way to do something), please let me know and I will update the document... after all, the main purpose here is to help other early Holden enthusiasts. I have marked some text in red in this document where I am missing information – any help in closing these gaps is appreciated. Like all things automotive, installing, operating and maintaining a NASCO oil filter comes with a risk. Leaking oil lines can lead to fires, or can rob the engine of oil (amongst other hazards). Any advice contained in this document is to be taken at the reader’s risk – qualified mechanics should be consulted where appropriate.

2 Filter Operation Accessory oil filters were offered by NASCO as a bolt-on option for grey motors. The filters were not fullflow, as used on red and later engines. Rather, the grey motors operate on bypass system, which means only a small fraction of the oil circulating through the engine passes through the filter (typically 5-10%, though this depends on the particular engine and filter). Various people have engineered full-flow oil filtration on grey motors, which requires considerably more work. Three separate brands of oil filter were offered for the grey motor – A.C. DELCO, FRAM and RYCO. Each of the filters used a steel casing which bolted to the driver’s side of the crankcase. Pressurised oil was bled from the oil pressure sender unit (the “idiot light”, circled blue in the picture to the right) tapping via a teepiece and flowed into the filter casing. The casing held a cartridge, which removed particles from the oil. The cartridge in some cases was held in place (downwards) by a spring. Oil flows from the outside of the filter cartridge into the centre. Filtered oil then returns to the sump via a camshaft gallery tapping point lower on the driver's side of the crankcase (directly below cylinder Nº. 2 and the crankcase vent pipe, circled red in the picture to the right). The inlet pipe to the filter canister has a very fine restriction orifice (around 1mm diameter) which limits the oil flow and prevents loss of oil pressure to the engine. The original brass t-piece that is usually fitted to the RYCO filters and allowed the oil pressure sender to be screwed in as well as the line to the oil filter also has a very small diameter hole, as does the RYCO casing centre post. Because only a small percentage of the oil is filtered (5-10%), and the filter reduces slightly the overall oil pressure available to the motor, some enthusiasts anecdotally believe the filters offer little benefit over regular oil changes. The filters do however remove finer particles (30 micron) compared to full-flow filters (100 micron). Some studies have found that bypass filters have positive benefits (for example http://avt.inel.gov/pdf/oilbypass/oilbypassfinalreport.pdf)). http://avt.inel.gov/pdf/oilbypass/oilbypassfinalreport.pdf

3 Identification Identification of grey-motor filters is not an easy eas y task. Many have changed vehicles several times, been repainted or otherwise changed. The following acts as a guide, but should not be read as definitive:

Note 1: The red paint is renowned for fading/ageing, and is often described as orange (original filters were nearly fire-engine red).
The filters shown below are most likely RYCO filters:
Page 5 of 30
Note that some RYCO filters have a drain plug at the bottom – the photos to the right (before and after restoration) show a RYCO filter with the drain plug (see arrow)
The photo below shows an original RYCO No.4 filter. Note there are no Holden decals on the filter. It is possible that the RYCO No.4 was not an original NASCO filter (for example may have been bee n a generic unit offered by RYCO), though it is equally possible that it was part of a filter kit (other parts would include the bracket to suit the grey motor and the correct length hoses and fittings). In either case, it is a period correct filter. The same applies to the RYCO 463 filter pictured above.

Note that 48/215 and FJ Holdens have a unique part number (for A.C. DELCO and FRAM filters) different from all other grey motors (FE, FC, FB, EK and EJ Holdens). It would appear a ppear that two different brackets were available, with the 48/215/FJ Holden bracket locating the filter considerably lower on the engine. Two FRAM filters are show to the right. The left-most picture is probably an 48/215/FJ Holden filter – the lower mount is midway up the filter canister, and the “coke bottle bulge” sits above the lid. The right-most picture is probably an FE/FC/FB/EK/EJ Holden filter – the lower mount is closer to the bottom of the canister, and the lid sits level with the “coke bottle bulge”.
Two A.C. DELCO filters are shown to the right. The leftmost picture is probably an 48/215/FJ Holden filter – the filter canister middle is almost level with the lower sideplate screws. The right-most picture is probably an FE/FC/FB/EK/EJ Holden filter – the filter canister middle is about midway between upper and lower lo wer sideplate screws.

4 Documentation 4.1 48/215 and FJ Holden Brochures
The 48/215 Holden Brochure (1950) Brochure (1950) indicates a number of NASCO accessories, but not an oil filter (see picture to the right). The FJ Holden Brochure (1954) does not mention an oil filter, though a separate brochure was released (see below).
4.2 48/215 and FJ Holden NASCO Car Accessories brochure
The 48/215 and FJ Holden NASCO Car Accessories brochure (1954) brochure (1954) indicates that an “oil filter” was available, with the following text: “Additional protection for your engine against impurities. A.C. or F ram type.”
The picture indicates the FRAM type filter canister with welded-on bracket.

5 Filter Cartridges Filter cartridges are not reusable. Each of the three types of filter take a different sized filter cartridge. Whilst the table below should be taken as informative, there have been several instances where a different filter cartridge was required in a given filter (for example where a RYCO filter would not accept an R4P filter cartridge and an R3P had to be used). It is often easiest to take the filter casing to the supplier (Repco, SuperCheap etc) when buying the first cartridge (and noting the part number down for later use!). The following table has been composed using original documentation, forum experience and manufacturers exchange tables. Filter Part Nº.

Interestingly, Australian Street Rodding No. 250 (April 2011) magazine’s Technical Workshop covers the use of a different filter cartridge in grey motor bypass filters. The main driver for using a different cartridge in the article was to reduce price, with a (common) Holden VE/VZ Commodore Alloytec V6 cartridge being chosen (Ryco part number R2605P, GMH part number 25177917, A.C. Delco part number PF2129). The pictures to the right are from the article. The Alloytec V6 cartridge is much smaller (97mm height overall, 18mm inside diameter, 53mm outside diameter), and requires a bigger (custom made) spacer at the bottom to make up for the difference in length, together with a seal for the centre post. http://www.graffitipub.com.au/product_info.php?products_id=830

6.3 RYCO (FRAM?) Oil Filter Fitting Instructions Attached below are what I believe to be the fitting instructions for a RYCO filter (the bracket is welded to
the body so not A.C. DELCO, and the filter uses tubing, not hoses). However the inlet is at the bottom of the filter, and the bracket has the “coke bottle” shape of a FRAM filter. Note that the procedure refers to vacuum wipers, and so is probably pre-EK Holden.

6.7 Fitting Filters With Wilsonia Gauges (FE/FC Holdens)
Wilsonia gauges were an accessory offered in FE and FC Holdens that use an adapter to the original oil light sender unit. The adaptor is the same as the one used for the oil filter. The original Wilsonia guage kit had a short braided hose like lik e the fuel hose which went into i nto the adaptor then into the copper gauge line (thread size is 3/8” NPT). An adaptor allows both the Wilsonia gauges and an oil filter to operate concurrently. The adaptor screws into the oil pressure switch hole, with the Wilsonia gauges connected to the end of the adaptor and a nd the filter hose screwing into the side of it.
6.8 Filter Disassembly The following photographs show the internal assembly of a grey motor filter. I have included it here to give some pictures of an actual unit.

7 Full-flow Filtration Full-flow oil filters work by filtering all the oil output from the oil pump, rather than the 5-10% filtered in bypass-type filters. All Holden motors subsequent to the grey motor have full flow filters. To create a full-flow setup in a grey motor, all the oil from the oil pump must be diverted through a filter and then returned back into the block. On standard grey motors, there is a pump discharge pipe that comes from the pump to the block where it flows into a tee. One leg of the tee goes to the oil switch, and the other to the motor. Some full-flow setups take the oil flow from this discharge pipe, route the pipe out the side of the block or sump, through the filter and back in via the oil switch port. The block at the lower section of the tee where the original set up entered is blocked off. The diagram above right, originally from the Holden Workshop Manual “FB” Series shows the changes made for full-flow filters (I have shown the lines passing through the block rather than the sump in this case). The first and second pictures below are of an EK Holden with the oil line through the sump. The third picture is an 48/215 Holden with the oil line drilled into the block.
The pictures below are also with the oil line through the block, this time on an FC Holden.
The second picture shows where the oil discharge pipe was removed and a 90º brass fitting installed. The side of the block has been drilled and another fitting screwed in. The third and fourth pictures show a copper pipe bridging the two fittings, routed to clear all rotating parts. The original oil passage has been plugged. The oil travels out of the motor, through the filter and back into the motor through the oil sender unit hole, creating a full flow system.
Page 28 of 30
The process below has been used to install a full flow (“through the sump”) system on a grey motor:

i)
With the engine out of the car, and the crank side up, remove the the sump. Remove the the looped pipe that connects the the oil pump discharge to the main oil gallery. Block the entry point to the gallery system with a brass bung. The bung should be loctited in place and done up tight – if the bung falls out, the motor will lose all oil pressure and fail catastrophically. Turn the fitting on the oil pump approximately 90º toward the sump wall, leaving it loose loose at this stage. Visualise this pipe now running out through the sump wall, directly adjacent to the oil pump outlet. Remember that the crank and rods may contact it if it is not set correctly. Carefully measure where the pipe would come out through the sump and allow 2-3 mm for gasket material, cut the pipe to allow enough to be protruding through the sump wall to connect the oil hose. Drill a 7/16” hole through the sump wall. Remove the oil pump retainer bolt and carefully push the pipe through. Check the lineup by putting the whole thing on and off a few times. Scribe the pipe fully where it protrudes from the sump, and the outline of the pipe on the sump wall. Use a small block of wood with a tight fitting hole to hold the pipe in the right position (the wood can be cut off later). Check that the hole in the shaft of the pump is central in the hole where the retainer bolt goes. Remove the sump and pump and take it to a good welding shop and TIG weld it on both sides. Use a remote (spin-on) filter kit, mounted in the engine bay. bay. Plumb the the sump pipe to the inlet and and the return side to where the original oil pressure sender switch is screwed in. Fit a tee-piece to the new lines to allow refitting of the oil pressure sender switch close to the original location. Add extra oil to the the sump to make up for the volume given to the filter and lines. Check that that it all works by taking out the plugs and crank the engine for 10 or 20 seconds. Put a rag under the spin on filter base and undo the filter. Oil should seep out. Retighten the filter.
Another option (described below) involves block drilling. However, the webbing in the block isn't very thick, and may lose strength. The FE shop manual (page 133) makes it easier to visualize the process. a)
b) c)
d)
e)
The oil feed from the pump is blocked just below where it meets the horizontal gallery by tapping the vertical gallery in the block (from the pump) and inserting a loctited grub screw at the very top just below the tee. The block is drilled at 90º midway between the oil pressure switch and the sump rail. This will meet up with the vertical gallery and give an oil feed to the outside of the block to the external filter. Above the oil pressure switch is a grub screw. Using the bottom of that grub screw as a guide, the block is drilled downwards at approximately 48º. This will miss the camshaft bearing and pick up the horizontal oil gallery just before the tee section. This hole now becomes the oil return back into the block. The oil pressure switch remains in the same position. The two holes drilled in the block are tapped to accept the same connector that was originally originally screwed into the base of the block from the oil pump. This allows the use of the same size steel pipe (as used in the sump) to connect to the external filter. Run pipe to and from from a new remote oil filter. If a modified bypass canister is to be used, the centre post inside the canister has to have the original small supply hole at the bottom welded up, and a new very large hole ground into it at the top, in line with the fitting on the side of the canister that returns the oil back to the block. Having this new hole up top of the post, and in line with the outlet will mean the canister will remain full of oil after shut down.
The process of converting a grey motor to full-flow full -flow oil filtration has also been covered in Australian Street Rodding Magazine Issue Nº. 191. http://www.graffitipub.com.au/product_info.php?cPath=36&products_id=292&osCsid=8a1a9d9c2cf86effc 2b0c7e1f5bba03e
