Oil Filter By-Pass and Remote
Filter Bracket Mounting
1. Place drain pan underneath oil filter and remove
filter from engine block.
Note: A complete oil change is not necessary for
this installation but is recommended if oil has not
been changed within 2,000 miles.
2. Check by-pass adapter and remote filter mounting
bracket to be sure they are clean and free of any
metal chips or burrs.
3. Insert o-ring into the groove located in oil filter
by-pass adapter. Lubricate top of o-ring using a
light film of oil. Spin by-pass adapter onto engine
block until snug, then tighten an additional 3/4
to 1 full turn same as the stock oil filter (Refer
to illustration).
4. Select the best location for remote oil filter
mounting bracket. The firewall, fenderwell, or frame
rail are convenient locations. Be sure oil filter has
sufficient ground clearance and mark location for
remote bracket with a grease pen or scribe.
Note: Remote oil filter bracket can be mounted
vertically or horizontally whichever is most
convenient for your application.
5. Before starting, measure distance between by-
pass adapter on engine block and remote oil filter
bracket. One length (60") of high temperature hose
is supplied to complete the connections. This hose
must be cut in two (2) individual lengths. Before
cutting, make sure remote oil filter mounting
bracket is located close enough to the by-pass
adapter.
For installations that require more hose length,
Mr. Gasket has available a 96" length of hose
part no. 7697, this will allow using two (2) lengths
of hose up to 48" each for these applications.
6. Use the remote oil filter mounting bracket as a
template and mark mounting holes with a grease
pen or scribe. Center-punch hole locations and
make sure underside is free and clear from any
obstructions. Drill three (3) 3/8" holes through
surface and debur holes.
7. Place remote oil filter bracket onto mounting
location and attach using 5/16" hex head bolts,
flat washers, and lock-nuts supplied. Tighten all
nuts and bolts securely.
Note: The dual remote oil filter mounting bracket
requires installing hex head bolts through bracket
from the back side.
