no more lifter clatter?
Well I've had a idle cold and restart noise for the last three years off and on. Best way for me to describe it is a faint lifter noise that goes away with a rev. I'm excited to say its gone for the last two days, I changed the oil Sun. and put a ph8a filter on. Its the small block ford filter fl1a or ph8a ford/fram. It must flow better I had to add a extra half quart when I was done. So it may help others it may not.

Used ph8a filters for years on my 92xj without any problems and changed oil every 3k but am hearing fram reg. oil filters can have problems if youre interested I have switched to purolator standard size for classic are l14670 and pure 1 pl14670 the large size classic l300001 pure 1 pl300001 hope your clatter stays away but larger filters ONLY hold more oil I am using l14670 with valvoline 10w30 maxlife synthec blend oil at walmart $16 for 5qts. now driving 2000xj since July with 102k just my 2cts.

Thats all I ever use on our G/C 4.0. Buy the Motorcraft when they go on sale. Or else I use a napa gold filter, Ford mount. Better anti-drianback.

I was thinking that maybe it flows more at idle or something my overall engine noise at idle is almost zero now.

Changing the oil could make a diff in lifter noise but I don't see how the oil filter could make any diff. A longer filter simply has a little more filter surface area (to hold/catch more stuff) and a little more internal volume (that possibly allows for more oil cooling) than a short/stock filter.
