I installed the spin-om conversion on both the TR3 & TR4 with the engine
in. Must have been enough room, probably less trouble than mounting the
canister.
As Randall mentioned, be sure you got the old o-rings out of the filter
head (mine had 3 in there). I recall using a dental pick to get at them
(carefully to avoid scratching the casting. A mirror can help with
inspection.
