AarhusTr6 Posted March 24, 2020 Report Share Posted March 24, 2020 Hi Looks to me PO fitted a spin on but put it horizontally, is this okay? Also I want to change it, any recommendations on best one? Rich Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Richard71 Posted March 24, 2020 Report Share Posted March 24, 2020 Nothing wrong with the one fitted, simply loosen the bolt and re-position it as vertically as possible, re-tighten bolt. Richard. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Waldi Posted March 24, 2020 Report Share Posted March 24, 2020 I have the K&N 2009, goed idea to rotate the adapter, but vertical (preferred) is not possible. See remarks in parallel post running currently. Gasket sets can be obtained for the adapter, good moment to renew all 3. Waldi Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steves_TR6 Posted March 25, 2020 Report Share Posted March 25, 2020 I too use the k&n hp2009 filter, decent quality and has a nut on the end to aid removal ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The key point in my view is to make sure the filter that you use has an anti drain valve fitted and is in the vertical position as all ready stated. Bruce. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bruce. If you do us a long filter like the HP2009 you will not be able to have it in a vertical position without it being below the chassis. Take it as close as you can to vertical, just no to far.

AarhusTr6 Posted March 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2020 Hi all Thanks for replying. I guess that the PO made this horizontal so as to give easier access or make sure its clear of the slave clutch cylinder. The advise though is to make it is as vertical as possible right? I have found the oil filter mentioned https://landberg.dk/kn-hp-2009-oliefilter-p8819?gclid=CjwKCAjwguzzBRBiEiwAgU0FTy76DtFG-fWmw5NI2YhXSOI_sIwlUiW2aVx6mz0iz6j6bFmaKG0ywRoCXfgQAvD_BwE Where can I get the gaskets from for the spin on??

Take it as close as you can to vertical, just no to far. I found anything longer than 100mm interferes with the clutch slave cylinder and pipe. Also there's a protrusion on the engine that gets in the way as you angle a longer filter forwards, hence it ends up more horizontal. I've resorted to the shorter Mann W712/43 which fits OK.

AarhusTr6 Posted March 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2020 OK thanks Excuse please my thickness, but the K&N filter, its just a spin on to my adaptor right and would come with a gasket? Rich Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rich Hi Rich, yes there is a rubber seal with the filter. Daz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Allan Jezzard Posted March 25, 2020 Report Share Posted March 25, 2020 So long as the filter is as vertical as possible (mine is the longest I could get and it is only a few degrees off the perpendicular), it is not necessary for it to have a non return valve. The oil cannot drain back “up hill”. I have operated on this basis for well over 100,000. miles with no problems. Cheers Allan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Waldi Posted March 25, 2020 Report Share Posted March 25, 2020 Rich, Moss sell the 3 gaskets as a kit. The modern filters have their own gasket off course. Waldi Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AarhusTr6 Posted March 26, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2020 Hi Looking at my oil filter, then it looks to me PO has removed the PRV . . do others agree? This car keeps giving me surprises . . .! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Waldi Posted March 26, 2020 Report Share Posted March 26, 2020 Hi Rich, here is a direct link to the Moss gasket set. I mentioned earlier there are 3 gaskets, but there are actually 4 gaskets in the set. regards, Waldi https://www.moss-europe.co.uk/seal-set-filter-adaptor-tt12861.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites

John L Posted March 27, 2020 Report Share Posted March 27, 2020 The PRV nut/hex is below the filter, the plug you can see by the filter is nothing to do with the PRV, its a plug in the oil gallery. John Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers Allan Hi Allen, Its not only the oil stored in the filter but also the stored in the oil gallery and there is quite a lot of it, if there is no non return valve the oil gallery will drain down! I once had a problem where I had left my car unused for over 10 months and I could not get oil pressure until I had back filled the oil gallery. That might be why Moss & others always said use a filter with a non return valve. Bruce. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AarhusTr6 Posted March 27, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2020 OK So maybe if I jack up the car or remove the oil filter then I will see the PRV Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Waldi Posted March 27, 2020 Report Share Posted March 27, 2020 Yes, you should find it, the valve is normally closed, so if it would not be installed all oil would return straight to the oil pan. Waldi Quote Link to post Share on other sites
