My Oil filter right-angle adapter thingie is leaking something fierce, and rather than just replace the O-rings, I was thinking of going with a remote oil filter system to make the filter change easier, and to make o-ring replacement less cramped and thus more simple later on.
To do this, I have a series of questions, as I cannot find technical documentation to answer them. The best info I can find is here. (and I'm gonna steal his pictures)
I'm doing this to a DD and do not have a comparable block to play with and learn from, so I need to be sure I've got everything squared away ahead of time
1) What's the weird little tube that comes out of the block for? Can it be snipped with dikes or otherwise cut/pulled?
2) What's the diameter/thread count of the 'E-Bolt' that holds the whole kit onto the block?
3) What's the inner (or outer) diameter and rim width of the outer seal surface? (the big circular area where the large O-ring seals on the OEM adapter) Or, just what's the O-ring's size?
I'm figuring if the tube can be cut, just to use this 'custom spin on adapter' (assuming the O-ring dia. jives) and a length of threaded tube threaded into the block to form a post to make all this work. I'll add a cooler/temp gauge/filter from there, but this is the hard part IMO.
Opinions? Answers?
Mods: feel free to move this to modified tech, I wasn't sure.
Thanks!!
