[6pack] Crossland oil filter

[Sally or Dick Taylor]

John---Filtering-wise, it shouldn't make any difference.  However, the centering of the filter is better served when the bolt centers the filter at the block and the spring loaded bi-pass valve centers the opposite end of the filter. You have it correct.

Just as a footnote on this subject, it looks like the Bentley Manual has the oil flow "arrows" opposite as to the way they should be. To get the bi-pass valve to open, as in the case of a clogged filter, oil flow has to come down the center and return down the sides. No?

   I installed a new Crossland canister type oil filter and I'm not sure 
I have it in right.  One side is wide open and the other has a hole the 
size of the center bolt.  I put the more closed side toward the block.  
Is this correct?  Thanks,  John Mitchell 76 TR6 72 Stag
