Re: Installing 95% oil filter system issue
I think the clearance issue is going to depend on a lot of factors that can very between installations. You just about going to have to figure it out as you go. Might consider a trial fitting with a separate piece of tubing before you start binding the one you intend to use.

Re: Installing 95% oil filter system issue
If you are worried about clearance with your headers, then you can put an 1/8" NPT 90 degree male-to-female elbow into the block, then the adapter from 1/8" NPT to 1/4" compression/flare. This should enable you to keep the line close to the block and away from the headers. Now, you may have to make or modify your own lines - but that isn't a big deal.
Best of luck on getting your new engine done and on the road! B&S |

Re: Installing 95% oil filter system issue
Couldn’t find the right adapter at hardware store. Found the 1/4”-1/8” pipe thread adapter but couldn’t find the one with the nipple on the inside that the tube flare needs. What’s it called? Thinking the ones I found that were similar but w/o a nipple were NPT.

When it comes to flare fittings - you need to know which flare type - there are three. It is most likely that you're looking for a 45 degree angle SAE type flare. Don't make the mistake of buying an aircraft flare 'AN' of 37 degrees. |

Re: Installing 95% oil filter system issue
I discovered the correct fittings were on the filter I got. There’s 2, the one at the top is a 90 degree, the one at the bottom is strait. Just to get the motor in I took the 1 off the bottom & used on the return treaded hole on the block. Good for now. I think the correct designation for the fitting is npsm 1/8” male-npt 1/4” female, adapter.
