Common sense would be cutting one open

Been there, done that...been cutting open filters for 25 years.

I've been racing for almost 40 years now, have yet to see or hear of (exept on the internet) an engine expire from using a Fram filter

Maybe I should have been a bit more clear, after cranking the motor over for the first time I have replaced the oil pump and intermediary shaft, has oil and new oil pressure sending unit. I will pull the valve covers and check the lifters, but for the few seconds that it ran, It did not seem to be missing. I will try all the easiest first and let everyone what I find out. When I did pull the first pump it did have oil in it and the filter.
