Default Slight Problem, any ideas???

Guys,

This is kinda funny....The oil filter will not go on with the pan I have. Do you think I need one? :jester No in all seriousness, it will not clear the kickouts on the moroso pan, due to the added length of the oil cooler. For the startup on Sunday, if I have to, I will just remover the cooler and run the filter alone, in which case it will clear fine. Anyone know if they make a short filter? A filter, normal size, just hits enough to not allow it to line up. Short of hammering a little clearance I wanted to see what was available :crazy: :lol: :lol: The fun just never stops :p:

I would just remove the oil warmer, you're gonna be running synthetic after your intial breakin anyway aren't you? Remember the LT1 didn't even have an oil cooler.

my friend's 434 LPE-iroc does the same thing. only his has issues with the tranny fleplate inspection cover. pop that off, off the filter comes.

They make shorter oil filter adaptors also, w/ ports for oil coolers. Check out Racer Wholesale or Pegasus Racing....
