As the title says- can the oil filter housing on a -4 be removed with the engine in the car. At least without major difficulty.

Here is a pic:
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i366.photobucket.com-10819-1377129833.1.jpg) You can see the pressed in valve "seat" that has the ball valve behind it. If you were to pull that out, the resulting hole appears to be ~.72" The "Boss" around that hole is ~1" I think you could pull out the seat and tap that hole to 3/4" Add a plug and youre done. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) maybe? I would try it with the spare just for grins, but I dont want to ruin one just for the experiment. However I did try to see how much pressure it takes to open the valve but the pressure is so low it would be hard to test. I am guessing well below 10 PSI. Stu |

Stu I'll let you know in a few days if it works cause I just tried it. Worst case scenario- it doesn't work and I have to mount a new intermediate plate. I filled the bypass hole with JB weld- then found a plug that was slightly oversized and then pounded it in. I coated the edges of the plug with JB weld. It is very firmly in place. |
