The only problem was the <br>oil filter they sent me was incorrect - it hits up against the oil pan. <br>Is it the ph3600 that is slimmer and fits that kit?<br> I also found another problem - the oil line from the oil pressure <br>gauge was cracked and leaking. when I disconnected the oil line fitting, <br>I also took off the fitting that goes into the block. It was very <br>difficult to get off and I am concerned that someone either put a <br>fitting in there with the wrong threads or stripped the threads when <br>they installed it. Do you know what size those threads are? It appears <br>to be a british standard pipe thread. I had to use whitworth wrenches to <br>get both the pressure fitting nut and the fitting to the block off.
