Where shall I begin to tell the Truth?
BOTH the engine adapter & the Oil Filter mount, start out life as the Same Piece. BOTH of which end up being WORTHLESS!!!!!!!
!!!!!
The Engine adapter requires that you re-use an OLD oil filter gasket. The Kit doesn't come with ANY gaskets.
The Billet machine work is Top Notch, but the Enginerring is All Wrong!!!
Outside the (pirated) oil filter gasket, the remote adapter flange is .104". That's less than acceptible to me.
It gets WORSE! At 2 places on the block adapter, the metal between the gasket & a LEAK gets down to .034"
Now, about the brass In/Out adapters on the block adapter. The points of each adapter DO pass by each other, but not by much.
The ad says that the hose barbs & the hose provided are designed so you don't need hose clamps. Well THAT is TRUE!!!!!!!! I test fit both ends of the same hose, on both hose barbs. I wanted to see if the hoses would go past each other. Well, they DO, but just BARELY. I have no experience with Stainless Braided hose, but I "think" considering the TINY clearance between the supplied rubber hose, that braided hose would NOT clear each other.
Neither the Oil Filter thread OR the Oil Pressure Plug were sealed with teflon tape!
Now moving on to the remote mount!!!!!!!!!
I will say, with out a doubt, that the engineer who designed the remote mount has NEVER in his ENTIRE LIFE, EVER REMOVED a SINGLE OIL FILTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I Guaran-DAMN-Tee that fact!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why, you ask, can I make that statement? I'll tell you!!!!!!!!!!
The mounting pad for the remote filter is 1" x 1". It's bolted (?) to something by Two 1/8" bolts in the center of that 1" sq. mounting pad. How STRONG is that?
Now let me tell you about the Remote Oil Filter Mount for a FL1 Ford oil filter. The Mount is 4" x 4" (16 sq. in.), and is held in place by four 1/4" bolts. 16 sq. in. & four 1/4" bolts is a secure mount.
One sq. inch, & two 1/8" bolts is NOT a good mount for an Oil Filter.
I'll ask EVERYBODY who's ever changed any oil filter? How many filter changes will this mount last, before you RIP the two .30" bolts outa what ever sheet metal they are bolted through?
I recommend a 4" x 4" alum plate be heli-arced to the 1 sq inch mounting pad. Then have alum. braces heli-arced from the 4" x 4" plate, to the sides of the adapter. Use Four 1/4" bolts to secure the 4" x 4" plate to anywhere you want to mount it.
That's my review, & I'm stickin' to it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
