I suggest you talk to Greg Solow about these filter conversions. Greg
knows a great deal about them and set me straight on the right way to do
it. The filter conversion itself is no big deal, but while you're at it
you might consider an oil cooler, and there are right and wrong ways to do
that.

Subject: TR 4 Cyl "Spin On" Oil Filter Conversion
Dear Listers,
I am seeking comment from those of you who have a "Spin On" filter
conversion fitted to your TR2/3/4/4A.
! am interested to hear whether you have had any lubrication issues while
having this conversion fitted such as: -
1. Have you suffered from oil pressure problems/anomalies? Either needed
to increase or decrease the pressure relief significantly, in relation to
the STD canister type set up? 2. Have you had any bearing failures? 3.
Have you had excessive wear of the oil pump drive shaft tang? 4. What
brand/type/No. of spin on oil filter element do you use? 5. Does the oil
filter element you currently use have an in built pressure relief valve?
Or do you rely on the filter head/block to do this? 6. Would you recommend
this conversion for only RACE, STREET use, or both?
Thank you for your assistance and I will post findings back to the list.
Kind Regards
Peter Vucinic
