It gets pretty close to the motor mount and crankcase breather, but it does it my installation. If you want to mount it further back, there are optional spacers of 0.75, 1.4 and 2.5 inches.

Works good, and is no spill as advertised. With oil and filter, it is a few ounces heavier than the old screen, but very easy to service.

It is a quality part but I have 1/4" too little space. Paid $65 for it, will sell for for $35.
