Charlie, Finn. To drill the adaptor plate correctly drill halfway into the block from each face at an angle approx 45 degree off the line that would directly intersect the ports that need to connect, that way the holes are bent inside the adapter block around each other. I just smoothed the holes out with a dremel afterwards as its really hard to line a hand drill up exact. As long as both ports cross and dont intersect you are good to go. Also initially use a smaller drill bit. Andrew I did that, but made my own adaptor by cross drilling it to ensure the oil flowed properly. Was not easy to do as not much room for error but managed to drill correct angles after a couple of failures. Works well. Andrew
Thanks Andrew,
Hadn't thought of that. Now I need to find out what I've done.
I have the standard base mounted on a 3/4" thick adapter plate
with the base rotated 180 deg, so top of filter pointed down
rather than up.
So I think I have all the oil flowing through the filter :(
Recommendation for a bigger filter that will fit the base?

Finn. The little filters work fine as long as you
have not modified the oil flowpath from the
original design. Most of the pump output bypasses
the filter and goes straight back to the sump via
the relief valve. It is a smart design in that all
pump output goes through the heat exchanger for
cooling capacity but only the oil required by the
oil gallery is filtered. Some users do modify their
system to filter all the pump output, but this
requires a much bigger filter and is kind of
overkill.

Being
convinced it's time to change the oil. EM3 reports 60 hours+,
but
probably 10-20 hours before that.
Picked up a K&N SO1008 oil filter at Walmart. Looks so
tiny.
How come the Renesis can get away with such a tiny filter?
Anyone know the filter number for a filter with same base but
longer?
