Oil Filter tube

[DanielMc]

Anton has a view on the refitting of these canisters - may be useful for you:

This new canister is 137.53~137.60mm deep. Installed in a case with a 142mm deep filter cavity, it must not be inserted fully. I have started using custom shims, as shown on the right, to control the canister insertion depth. This way the canister cannot get pushed deeper into the case in the future. I set them at 3.5mm.

Before you put the canister back in, it would be a good time to check the filter by-pass valve. Poke the ball a few times with a small screwdriver and feel the spting behind it. You'll be able to tell if the spring is still springy or broken.
