Thread: 4BE1 twin oil filter

Does it look like the one in this pic ? I'm guessing it's likely to be the same housing, but not sure. If it is the same and it's in a County then you'll need spacer blocks.

Cheers, Murray

G'day Murray have you got any specs on them spacer blocks as i've got the same twin filter set up to go on my county .

My 4BE1 engine has the twin filters fitted, but has no spacer blocks. You'll be able to have a look on sunday at "The Defender Day" if you wish to

Thanks Murray.

Yep looks the same.

I thing it is about 25mm too long for my bump stop space.

Are you planning to make anymore spacers in the next 12 mths. I have enough top mt oli filters til then.

Regards
Peter

The above pic is the basic dimensions, but if you're running a turbo you'll need to allow for the oil feed to connect to the top spacer (see pic below).
I had a mate mill these up from steel, but if I were to do it again I would make them from aluminium. I'm not planning on making any more at the moment, but I will be keeping an eye out for any aluminium billet I might come across.
I made mine 50mm thick, but 60mm is what they need to be to clear the bottom filter on the prop shaft yoke at full articulation.

Cheers, Murray

Thanks, will do, which 110 should I look out for?

Another option is to get Adam (Agrojnr) to lasercut some for you like he did for Offender90, Inc and myself.

He can only cut up to 15 mm, and he said the distortion is less if they are 12mm, so you need to sandwich 5 plates together for the bottom one, but not a big deal.

Just use phosphoric acid to remove the mill scale from the plates, give them a light sand on a sheet of glass, then bolt them up with a smear of rtv/silicone between.

Thanks for the offer Jerry. The day went pretty quick and I didn't get a chance to have a look.
