Finally installing my oil lines and the sandwich adaptor is thicker than my old one I think. Using a Derale oil filter adaptor, model no. 15702. this is making my stock Mahle filter OC28 hang down too far and the engine mount bar is in the way.
Has anyone found a shorter filter to use? |

Thanks everyone. Discovered that my issue was that the engine bar is bent at the ends which is causing it lean back about. Half inch. Once I straightened it I had the clearance I needed.

QUOTE(RFoulds @ Apr 3 2024, 11:37 AM)  Thanks everyone. Discovered that my issue was that the engine bar is bent at the ends which is causing it lean back about. Half inch. Once I straightened it I had the clearance I needed. I am having the same issue with my sandwich plate and Mahle OC28 filter. The correct filter would hit the support bar. I am also having an issue with the clutch cable being in the way while installing. I have used shorter STP filters in the past but am a bit leery of quality and oil capacity. any thoughts ? |
