    Fitting a remote oil filter

    I haven't posted anything in there yet no, the old girl has only just got back on her feet after a horrendous crash about 3 years ago. Not sure if you read about it or saw the pic in VolksWorld but I was involved in a messy crash on the a303 on the way to Plymouth Volksfest in 2010... after...

I was swayed towards that but didn't know how much hassle cutting and reshaping the bar would be, or if it would...

    Fitting a remote oil filter

    Ok cool. I did think that it would be simple to add some spacers/washers between the engine case and the support bar to give more clearance but didn't know how far you could go before it starts stressing the engine mounts too much? Do you know of any pictures of anyone who has done this mod...

    Fitting a remote oil filter

    I'm guessing the case isn't already tapped as I have had the engine apart before and cant see any blanking plugs etc. I have been told that you can link the oil return (from the filter) into the control valve bung under the engine (does that seem right?), I don't like the idea of having a oil...

I have a 1970 bay window panel van with a 1641cc Remtec engine (about 4 years old now), engle 110 cam and a 32/36 weber carb in the back (so, a little it of punch but won't frighten your granny too much). I have...
