It has a full screen. The bar looks more for bracing I guess.

in the picture, the screen looks awfully coarse.  Makes me wonder how long the oil pump would last

this the one.

That's the Top side of s201s2
Click the little arrow beside the s201s2 pic & it turns over to the screen side & shows the bar?

I double checked the part number of the melling unit I have with Bison and he said it's perfectly fine. 1 person vs yall right now. I'm leaning toward returning it and buying from taperformance. com

Bison is plenty knowledgeable, but if the screen is as coarse like it appears instead of being like the factory, I would not use it...

Blehh, I'm pretty indecisive. Found this for a better price than the aforementioned 900. Still would need Springs, possibly pushrods, retainers, etc.

  Assuming good rockers and shafts, stock stuff is no good with roller cams.

I still run stock rockers and shafts with my roller cam. I have braces the saddles on the rocker shaft and my lift is under .500 with comp 941 valve springs.

Been working well for 16 years for me....

Larry, I did put the reinforcements on a few years back after I moved out here....I would probably use the TA hd shafts if I built another engine....addi ng heavy rockers is not that great an idea when using hydraulic rollers

I completely agree the heavier shafts are a great Idea. I figured I would run what I had and upgrade later if needed I just hate installing the nylon retainers. .....

The old SP hd shafts seemed brittle to me.  I broke one with a flat tappet cam and then its replacement broke right after I installed a roller cam. I replaced that one with a stock shaft and it has many a mile on it since 1999 with no problems.


And, yeah, you are not the only one that hates those buttons!!!!!!!
