| Subject: | Remote Oil Filter ? |
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

i replaced my main seal behind the flywheel a while ago because it was
weeping more and more. i left the seal sticking out about 1/16 - 1/8"
so it wouldn't ride on the same worn spot figuring next time i'd get the
sleeve that was offered with the seal. i had about 20 hrs with no leaks
at all.
now i have some weeping oil and it's hard to track down. i took the
prop off so it wouldn't get blown around and it looks like all of the
bolts holding the drive onto the crankcase are wet. this doesn't make
sense to me. i'll have to keep tracing it. i assumed it was the same
seal but it doesn't look like it. any guesses?
thanks,
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.
