[rebel-builders] oil filters and adaptors
Posted: Sun Feb 19, 2012 11:00 am
Hi All,
My .02 on the oil filter and adaptors.
I purchased mine thru Ken Miller a well respected Long ez guru who also
supplies a number of after market parts for engines and airframe that are well
below normal costs. He's sorta the Wayne O'Shea of the canard bunch. His oil
filter adaptor is 180.00 US and is the same as the B+C. I know the engineer
that did the work and was upset with B+C when he found out what they were
charging for the unit so he passed his drawings on to Mr Miller. His site is
Longez.com. I have no financal connections with Ken.
As for the filter, I use a Wix filter that has the design for NOT letting
the oil drain out of the filter while setting. You do not want to wait for
the oil filter to fill every time you start, so be careful on you filter
choice. That's the big difference between the Ch 48108 and Ch 48109 Champion
filters.
The short comings of the WIX filter is there is no spot for safety wire.
It does has as good or better filtering. Research by others before me.
If anyone is interested I'll get the filter numbers.
