Just swapped the oil filter head over to a spin on,  Don't know why it took 3 years to do - the first time I just couldn't get the studs out of the block but this time they come out easy as - probably something to do with having the generator out 
The gap at the top of the filter head dampened the good feeling - is all I need a different gasket or is plate or something missing? |

Yes, it's a totally different shaped gasket, weird shape. |

i want to do this aswell. i have the piece that goes from the upper part of the block, and has a pipe running down to the main housing which the spin on must mount to. what else do i need? |

The gasket, and 2 short 3/8" bolts. The existing long studs you pull out. |

Have you removed the spacer from the block. I know mine was painted and looked like it was a part of the block. Once removed i just used some gasket maker and it works a treat. no leaks at all. Cheers aaron |

Hey that looks great, why didn't I think of that. I almost hate to ask - how long did that take you? KB |

And thanks to you I have been able to Bling Bling it. It took me another 3-4 Hours worth of polishing. I'm now working on another peice of the engine bay and the the Dellorto. I wish I had a bremill though

KB's treasure trove of a garage has one of those in the cupboard! I still think it would take a while with the dremel though (fairly small contact point). I'm back at work next week, but ring or PM if you want to try it. KB |
