Isuzu Twin Oil Filter Spacer Block

Now, I'm not sure how this happened, but I bought isuzu part 8941697751 which is the pipe on the 4bd1T (as per 6x6 RPS) and it is different to the pipe steveG has used. This one has 1/4" BSPT outlet and is thicker, looking like I need the space to be 54mm long and 42mm hole centers... Has anyone else had it like this?

Don't forget that the oil coolers are different between the 2 motors. That will, have some bearing on what you are finding.

I know KLR Automotive have the spacer blocks in stock. I saw one on the desk and asked what it was for.

I purchased the housing spacer from them, yes, but the top pipe to oil cooler spacer appears is LRA part AYG0474, which is purchasable through land rover AU for $306.

I ended up having that part made by a machine shop locally, cost me $200. The housing spacer block from KLR is $70+.

Camma, SteveG, does anyone know what the part number is for that pipe you have used?

I used the pipe from the 6x6 4BD1T RPS and my spacer is 54mm long and has 42mm bolt hole centers to match the oil cooler.
I had a recess machined into one side of the oil cooler mating face (for o-ring) to mimic the original 4BD1 pipe.
Then I filed out the holes on the pipe.
Also, the o-ring seal I got from isuzu that is listed in the RPS for the 4BD1 oil pipe to cooler 1096233950 does not actually fit the recess.
I went to a seal shop locally, and got some o-rings to fit.

1	$170.00	oil filter housing with filters 8943604181	ebay

Yes, this ended up being more expensive than I expected, but it's done now, hopefully this does not cause any problems down the track :)
