The mesh pre-filter was sitting under a fram racing hp4 filter. I didn't put the prefilter back in place with the new wix racing filter going on. I too was concerned they may restrict flow. Both my engines were reportedly rebuilt to varying extent before I took ownership of the boat and maybe these were just put in place to trap articles from an engine settling in and were intended to be removed after the breakin period/first oil change after rebuild?
