Gary Lewis Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Why not use a remote oil filter? I have one up in my attic with a label on it saying "Brandon's". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Lewis Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 What is a block insert and how do I change it? The piece that screws into the block and onto which the oil filter screws. It comes out with a pair of vice grips or a pipe wrench, meaning it is ruined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldnt find a place to put that in the Bronco. I am assuming it will be the same in Jr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reviews look good. The only issue I see is the roughness in the passage. I would do as I did on Dad's engine and clean the passage up to minimize restriction. A ball hone might work, or even a drill bit or round file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have been nice as getting one out that has been in for 35 years takes a bit of torque and the exposed threads get ruined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
