steering shaft and zetec oil filter?

[mark]

As mentioned there are a few alternatives, i had the same problem on mine which is even worse as there is an oil cooler inbetween the block and the filter on the st170

I think it was a 1.4cvh filter i used in the end, but check first before you buy one as i may have just imagined that! i have used parts from so many different cars during my engine swap its hard to keep track!

What about a remote oil filter?

It did cross my mind too but a £3.50 oil filter solved my clearance issues so i didnt think it was worth the cost

I put a remote filter on mine. I found using a smaller one, Renault 5 turbo I think looked ideal with a enough clearance but round the track found it rubbed anyway.

Put the remote on for piece of mind.
