oil filter jigging

[Driftben]

has anyone try moving the oil filter housing to make way for the rad hose?
iv managed to get mine slightly on a tilt. would this affect the oil flow in anyway?

[Jonsku]

There are couple of examples @ e30.de

Remote filter assembly would be nice, as the original filter housing does indeed sit on the "wrong" place.

Tilting it shouldn't affect anything really, as the oil flow is pressurized anyways.

well thats great news because it means that i dont have to get more hoses, its just a case of fixing it in that position. i shall take some pictures this weekend on how i get on

[vokietis]

i've moved mine to the place where washer fluid tank used to be

[Driftben]

I'll have to jack the bugger up on one side to change the oil filter

[Driftben]

well acouple pics of how far iv angled the oil filter housing over.

I moved mine right over to the wing, the lines can be sorted by a hosing company as they can use the original fittings, sits nicely and gives you better access to the top rad and looks 100 times better

[Driftben]

Are you trying to say mine looks shit Phil

[Phill172]

Haha nope, just I found it easier, how can a e30 v8 look shit!!!?

[Driftben]

Haha, yea It would of made my life easier doing it your way I must admit. I'm rushing to try and get finished for gaydon. Are you attending that phill?

[Phill172]

Yea I'm hoping to there too, as long as mines in a presentable condition!!!

[Driftben]

Well I'm pretty sure mine won't be in a presentable condition so I'm going to pull off the rat look

Had the same problem mate,i shaved the back of mine down so it pushed it back an inch.

[Driftben]

What's that Shaz? The oil filter hosing lugs you took back an inch.
The M62 has a relocated oil filter hosing with about a foot of hose If anyone doesn't want the hassle of tilting the housing on the m60
