- I'm using the Canton adaptor on my MK1A (302 with Headers). It solved the oil leak/oil filter problem! When you see it, it is a beautiful piece too! Tym McDowell

- Scott, My 351C had 60 PSI cold or hot until I lost a cam lobe. I replaced the cam and the oil pressure was 60 cold and 20-40 hot, just as you indicated. I replaced the main and rod bearings and I hav

- Greetings to all, Yet another "minor" problem. For the second time in 200 miles I have developed a leak at the cast iron fitting on the block. The leak is at the center fitting. The first leak was ca

- Sorry I wasn't clear. I am referring to the cap that mounts in place of the oil filter. Specifically the hollow "bolt" that attaches the assembly to the block. The leak is around the O ring located

- Yes, the oil filter problem. Many use short filters, which I find to be unsatisfactory from a performance standpoint. If you do NOT have the original set up, which used NO O-rings, you probably have

- Scott, No, the original Tiger fitting was cast iron, and had fiber fittings. The remote adapters usually are aluminum and have O-rings. I have seen many "o-ring seal" designs, in the automotive after

- The stock cast piece can be machined out to accept a square o-ring (like in an oil filter. Of course, this ruins the originality of the stock piece. Most aftermarket oil filter adapters have this arr

- No one seems to have replied to your question about oil pressure. The 60 psi cold sounds about right for a stock oil pump, although I haven't had a stock oil pump in my Tiger since 1976, so my memor
