Noobs have to start somewhere

The r clip holds down the spring and the non return anti drain back part of the filter which can be thrown out with the old paper filter. Make sure that you have all the bits. It can be ignored but does hold the bolt in place when removing or replacing the filter housing. An R clip would do the same thing I guess.

I cannot right now find a pic of what the component looks like that the filter sits on top of and is pushed against the block face by the large spring.

Filters can be a faff as Mike "Lingen" pointed out. There was a long time ago a batch of filters with cardboard rings that could shift and block the oil return... I use these filters https://rimmerbros.com/Item--i-GFE147P available elsewhere but this was the first on my search.

Be sure that when you refit the filter bowl that it seats inside the machined face of on the block as you are tightening the bolt.

oil, plenty will have opinions But this stuff I like https://www.classic-oils.net/Classic...Heritage-20W50 I buy enough to get free delivery thrown in too.

Thanks RichardThe Stag,

All very useful info.

I'm fairly certain i've got all the components, I ordered new rubber washers from the SOC parts website and the R clip from Amazon. I'll reach to to Tony (thanks for the contact) and see if he can source me an original.

I did get that filter from Rimmers as well. At least that part of the process I got right!

Fitted a spin on adapter using the o rings supplied, which looked very thin. Oil peed out, refitted original filter housing as not prepared to risk engine. I’ve no problem with spin on filters only the adaptor. Having to change o rings frequently negates many of the reasons for changing to spin on IMHO.

Tony white has really helped supplying good original parts.
Be aware it’s only a part time job though & he has another job too!

Also when he is at his place, its a farming rural area, the phone signal is pretty bad there.

+1 on the spin on filter adapter! My spin on filter adapter was fitted about 15 years ago. It does not leak. Have not changed the oil rings. About 10 years ago I fitted an engine oil cooler which has a sandwich plate take off between the filter adapter and the filter. Again no leaks. If you cannot remove the spin on oil filter cartridge by hand then it was done up too tight! Even if it is tight, an oil filter strap remover is a cheap & effective tool!

" even crap filters will allow a modern engine to survive the 10 or less years before it is recycled into a BEKO fridge."
