Howdy, just watching a couple of external oil filters on Evilbay & wondering if there are any major mods needed to fit one. I have an FB/EK engine in my FC with no visible filter at all. Were they all external or is there a modifycation to fit a different setup?
Thanks in advance, Dave

The only oil filter in a standard grey is the strainer on the oil pick up in the sump, the kit that you commonly see fitted to a grey only filters some of the oil, it bleeds some off by fitting a t piece at the oil pressure switch and returns it to the sump. Modern engines run full flow systems where all the oil runs through the filter and then feed to the oil galleries, there is usually a bypass valve where if the filter becomes clogged, oil bypasses the filter and goes into the engine (dirty oil, better than no oil)
So it's not as good as a modern system, but it is an improvement on what it currently has, will certainly help. You didn't include the link to Ebay, but I think your talking about a NASCO style accessory.
Cheers Mick

Thanks 87. Yep, they are the Nasco style ones. Both about $40 at the moment, so I will keep an eye on them.

Thanks for that in depth info Harv. That info is very useful. Being intended as a weekend cruiser, I think I will stick to regular oil changes. I have just filled her up with new oil. I'll run that for a while, then pull the sump off for a proper clean. Doing the brakes at the moment, so it's only running in the shed.
Thanks again you blokes for your help.

Hi, my first log. Thankyou for the direction to the external filter document. I was looking to see if extra oil was required but no it isn't. I have an unregistered good condition FC that I want to turn into a regualr ride. Too original to mess with but too changed to to take back to totally original (for me). By the style it seems it was a project for someone in the 80's. Love it. No pics up for you yet. Thanks again.
