Cool new tool from Joe's (Hardbar)
Inspecting your engine oil and filter can catch problems before they explode and save you a bucket full of lettuce. Identifying engine problems in the shop will help you win more races. JOES Racing Products has designed a new Oil Filter Cutter that allows you to quickly check your spin on filter for debris. The JOES cutter works with all popular filters and comes complete with an adapter bushing to fill the oversize hole of larger filters like an HP6. The adapter keeps the cutter centered verses fumbling around with an undersized bushing that lets the cutter flop around. One tool works perfectly for various size filters. Fully machined anodized aluminum and laser etched produces a durable package that looks cool and gets the job done right. This is cheap insurance at only $64.95!

This really has beautiful machine work. It is really beautiful, all CNC and stainless steel, total quality. It will be the nicest tool in your toolbox. Every Corvette racer needs one.

Gary,
Do you have interior used filter pictures of what is normal vs. not normal? I have no idea what to expect if I cut a filter open. Maybe you have a picture that shows good, ok. this is bad?

I don't have a pic of a bad one (I have had many in the past, but I endevour to not screw up my LS7) now, but have had them in the past. What you will see will be obvious if you have trouble on the way. When you cut it apart, if it is going bad, you will see metal particles (that may or may not be magnetic) that are pieces of bearings, valve springs, cam, etc in the bottom of the can. If it is OK, it will just be oil.
