B.
Attaching the filter mount
1. Survey the engine compartment for possible
mounting locations. The mount should be located as close to the existing full-flow
filter as possible. Solid structures such as the firewall, fender well, radiator
support or frame are common locations. Refer to diagram
A for minimum area requirements and consider accessibility for servicing.
2.
The filter mount can be rotated 180° in its mounting brackets. This allows
the oil supply and return hoses to enter the mount on either the right or left
hand side. Choose the side that will minimize the need for bends in the hoses.
Also refer to diagram
C for preferred mounting angle positions.
3. When the location has
been determined, use the mounting template provided to locate and mark mounting
holes. This can be easily done with a center punch and hammer.
4. With a
1/4" drill bit, drill out the previously marked mounting holes and attach
the two piece mount bracket. Use the 4 - 1" long 1/4" bolts, nuts, small
washer and fender washers provided. Note the assembly diagram
B for details. Using two 7/16" wrenches or socket, tighten to 8 foot
pounds.
5. Apply thread sealant onto the two "0" ring adapter
fittings (BP-189) as noted in diagram
E. Install fittings in mount end adjacent to the arrows. Using a 7/8"
wrench, tighten to 40-43 foot pounds. If desired, optional 90° angle fittings
(BK-11) or 45° angle fittings (BK-12) may be installed at this time. Sold
in packages of two, they are available from AMSOIL INC. Do not use thread
sealant on either end of the angle fittings, tighten to 525-575 inch pounds or
from finger tight, rotate an additional 60° or 1/6 of a turn. Keep in mind
the direction you wish to have the hoses intersect the mount.
6. Apply thread
sealant as noted in diagram
E to the Allen head "0" ring plug (BP-191). Using a 5/16"
Allen head wrench, install plug in remaining mount port and tighten to 40-43 foot
pounds. Note: If optional oil sam- pling valve is to be used, refer to
diagram B and install in place of the Allen head "0" ring plug. Apply
thread sealant to the external threads on all components in the BK-13 kit.
7.
Attach the filter mount to the mounting brackets using 4 - 1-1/2" long 1/4"
bolts, nuts and washers provided. Warning: The bolts must be installed
so that the nuts are on the side opposite the filter nipples. Failure to do this
will result in the bolts hitting the oil filters. Using two 7/16" wrenches
or socket, tighten to 8 foot pounds.
C. Oil Supply
1. Apply
thread sealant, as noted in diagram
E on the two fitting adapters (BP-201). Using a 7/8" wrench, install
the two adapter fittings into the Spin-On filter adapter (BP-176 Cummins, BP-177
International). Tighten to 28 foot pounds or 2-3 turns beyond finger tight. If
desired, use optional BK-11 or BK-12 angle fittings.
2. Using a drain oil
pan to control any loss of oil, remove the existing engine full-flow oil filter.
Clean the gasket seating area on the engine with a clean lint free cloth.
3.
Install the spin-on filter adapter in place of the old oil filter. To ensure proper
sealing and aid in installation, place a small amount of grease on both sides
of the "O" ring used. Tighten the adapter one full turn after adapter
first contacts sealing surface, back off 1/8".
D. Oil feed and return
lines
Note: The hose and hose fittings supplied with this kit have
been matched to provide maximum performance and life expectancy. Interchanging
with other types or brands is not recommended and should be avoided.
Should additional hose be required, it may be obtained from AMSOIL INC. by ordering
part number BP-188.
1. (Oil supply hose) Measure the amount of hose (BP-188)
you will need to run from the Red colored port (labeled Out) on
the spin-on adapter to the port with the arrow pointing In, on the filter
mount. Additional length will be required to accommodate engine movement during
operation. Also consider how the hose will be routed. Make sure the hose does
not contact any hot or moving surfaces or sharp edges. Ensure a minimum bend radius
of 1-1/2" is maintained at all corners. Also, bends in hose should not begin
at hose fittings. See diagrams
D and G
for additional details.
2. Using a utility knife, squarely cut the hose
to the proper length.
3. Install hose fittings (BP-187) on both ends of
the hose. Follow the instructions noted in diagram F.
Tools required are one 7/8" wrench and one 15/16" wrench or vise. Note:
Do not use any form of thread sealant anywhere on the BP-187 hose fittings.
4.
Route the hose assembly as noted in D.1 and connect the hose fittings. Note: Optional
90° or 45° angle fittings may be installed at this time between the hose
fittings and spin-on-adapter (see instruction B-5).
5. Using two 7/8"
wrenches, tighten hose fitting swivel nuts and swivel nuts on angle fittings (if
used) to 525-575 inch pounds or from finger tight, rotate an additional 60°
or 1/6 of a turn. Note: Do not use any form of thread sealant anywhere
on the hose or angle fittings.
6. (Oil return hose) Repeat steps D.1 through
D.5. Connect hose at port labeled In on the spin-on adapter to the port with the
arrow pointing Out, on the filter mount.
7. Use plastic ties (BP-46)
to secure hose in position and away from damage. Trim ties using side cutter.
Note: Over tightening the plastic ties may cause the hose to collapse and
restrict oil flow.
8. Fill the provided Full-Flow and By-Pass Filters with
the same motor oil being used in the vehicle. Lubricate the filter gasket with
oil and spin filter onto mount. Tighten one full turn after filter gasket first
contacts mount, back off 1/8".
E. Start up procedures
1. Check that all fittings and hoses are securely attached, and that the hoses
are routed properly.
2. Check engine oil level. Fill to full mark if necessary.
3.
Set vehicle parking brake, With transmission in park/neutral start the engine
and immediately check oil pressure. Note: Pressure may initially take a moment
or two to rise. Caution: Carefully check for leaks at fittings, hoses and
mount. If leaks are observed, STOP ENGINE IMMEDIATELY, repair leaks and
continue.
4. After engine has warmed, shut off and re-check engine oil level.
Fill as necessary.
5. Record vehicle mileage/operating hours and date of
installation. Diesel Powered Engines: Due to higher oil contamination levels in
diesel engines and variance in fuel quality, maintenance intervals for the filter
element and oil change intervals should be determined using oil analysis. For
more on oil analysis see the last page.
F. Periodic maintenance
1. Periodic visual inspection of the fittings and hoses is recommended. Look for
leaks, hose deterioration and cuts. Repair and/or replace as necessary.
2.
To change the filter element:
Getting
a clean and uncontaminated oil sample is easy and simple when an oil sampling
petcock is installed into the Spin-On By-Pass Oil Filter system. This can be easily
done by ordering a BK-13 Kit. Installs in place of the BP-191 Allen Head Plug.
