An "outside" helicoil, and then we could get custom made oil filters! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif)

or just nix the stock oil filter setup, tap for some nipples at the same location, run some rubber lines or whatever you want to a bug oil filter setup....seen it done, looks good.

If you dimple the oil cooler next to the bolt head you can get a 1/4 drive 13mm socket over the bolt for the oil filter adapter.
Then remove it and replace it. BTDT.... But no one will believe that I can do it...... |
