andyb Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 There is a kit avaliable that repositions the oil filter on the Rover V8. I guess it depends upon the thread size used for your current filter but that option might work. Only other thing would be to find a friendly motor factor and see if you can flick thru their Fram/Cooper/or the like catalogue and find a filter that fits but is shorter.

HTH Agree. Had to fit a shorter filter to my Ford V8 as it was too close to the chasis. Was very easy to do in the end. Need the same thread - that's all. Unless, how much interference is there?

FridgeFreezer Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Check out Think Automotive they sell all the adapters etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Does the diff actually hit the filter or are you just taking precautions? The diff gets very close to the filter on my Prima powered S2a but never hits it, if you have more flex than a 39year old car on standard multi-leafs it could be an issue though Lewis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twizzle Posted February 5, 2007 Author Share Posted February 5, 2007 Thank for the advise The perkins is a 4liter 4203 twizzle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbarton Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 I had one of those in a Series IIa. The filter was move backwards(?) a few inches by using a block of steel with oilways drilled in it. Picture the holes on the block where the filter unit bolts on, this pattern is duplicated along the adaptor, with the oil holes joined together with longitudinal holes drilled in the block, plugged at the end where the drill went in of course! The holes that connect the oilways to the engine block are drilled from one side of the adaptor into the oilways, the holes drilled at the other end to feed oil to the filter are drilled from the opposite side of the adaptor. Hope this makes sense! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Hancock Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Thank for the adviseThe perkins is a 4liter 4203 twizzle Err i think you will find that its actually 3.3ltr, or in imperial measurements 203 cubic inch. 4-203 = 4 cylinders & 203ci.

That's what I thought - couldn't be bothered to do the maths. It's the 4236 that's 3.8 litres IIRC ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rtbarton Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 Geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez - you're a glutton for punishment! A friend set about fitting a 4326 to a SIIa 109 and gave up when he had to start cutting the chassis to provide clearance. A 4203 is hard enough on your gearbox, a 4326 (or bigger) would be more trouble than it's worth. (Although I used to love setting car alarms off in my 4326 powered RRC ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rtbarton Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 That's a 4203 ( or a derivative), you shouldn't need to cut the chassis to fit that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
