Have any of you guys installed a remote oil filter kit on you r EA-81
engine? If so, where did you find it? I'm having a hard time finding one
with the correct size. The oil filter on my engine has an o-ring that is
2.25" ID and 2.5" OD. The smallest remote filter kit I can find has an
o-ring size of 2.5" ID and 2.75" OD. Any help appreciated.

I pasted some old notes below - available from Summit racing. it was
about $100 and about 5lbs extra for all the hoses and hardware so I
skipped it. airflow over the oil pan seems to do just fine. the water
and oil cooling are related - i tried many different systems and poor water
cooling increased oil temps and poor oil cooling increased water temps. once
I removed the exhaust from being right behind the oil pan and got good airflow
around the oil pan and exhaust and a good radiator, everything was good.

A 11/16-16 female thread will fit loosely but may appear correct when

threaded to a male 3/4-16 male fitting. However the joint is around 1/3 as

strong (depends on the actual thread tolerances). The result is dangerous

however.



The soob EA81 Oil filter is now and has always been 3/4-16.
good luck,
gary

Hi Andy,
I've a friend Kelly Meiste who has a Stratus EA81 that uses a JC Whitney
sourced remote oil filter. A bit different, but
he says it works well, uses a standard size filter and reduces the oil
temps by 10-degrees or so.
Pictures attached
