Oil Filter Block block info...

Can the Oil Filter block be spun around 180* so that the filter
will hang off the front?

Also I heard there was a mod for the thermostate in the oil filter block
that allows you to open it and have the cooler working full time..

Is this true? how do i do this mod?
Any info is welcome...;)

Example Picture Only: This is not my motor!

yes. you also have to swap the two oil cooler lines, or bend them a bit.

unbolt it, replace the seals, put it back on turned 180 degrees..

you can see mine here



you don't want to block the thermostat. Your oil would take a long, long time to heat up. That would be like deleting the thermostat on your cooling system. Do get the oil cooler housing repair kit though and clean it all up before you put it back together.

You going turbo right?

ya I plan on it I have just about everything I need,
While I flip this I planed on taping a hole so I can run my oil
line to the turbo off the block as well
