Thread: oil pressure in 4BD1

Weres the bloody pics then

The simplest, but not necessarily best for everyone, way to remote mount the dual filters is to make two adapter plates. One to bolt onto the engine block where the filter housing normally is, the other to bolt onto the removed filter housing where the engine block normally is. Drill and tap two holes in each plate for hose fittings.

Once the filter is mounted, run appropriate pressure and drain lines between the pair of adapter plates. Make the drain as large as practical.

That is how i will be doing mine John you must have read my mind

I now just have to pick a good spot to mount the filter housing and make up the bits which wont be much trouble

Further to my last post, the other thing that needs to be addressed when making the adapter plate for the engine block, is the take-off for the lube line to the fuel injection pump.

I have always used Penrite HPRdiesel, either 15W50 , or 20w60
