knacker Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 Malcolm Whitbread use's a Renault 5 oil filter on his 4.2 V8 challenge truck, it's only about 4" long. Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Henson Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Micronic oil filters tend to be quite a lot smaller than the original. Les Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zim Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 I had this issue many years ago when i had a v8 in a series. I bought a sandwhich plate and used a remote filter....but managed to break this with the diff as well Then got a pump cover from mocal and it solved my problem http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/Motorsport/Oil_System/Take_Off_Plates_Filter_Heads/Mocal_Rover_V8_Take_Off_Plate/1709/0/39043 G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
