However
with different adapters it will fit all A Series engines and can be modified
to suit custom applications.
History
When the new Injection Cooper was launched a series of important changes
were made to improve the engine and the car in general. A number of items
were obviously targeted as a cost saving exercise. Unfortunately the oil
transfer pipe, which carries oil from the block down to the oil filter
housing fell into this category.
The quite substantial, original banjo and bolt fixing were dispensed with
for a rather more fragile fitting. This has achieved quite a reputation
for at best regularly leaking and at the worst blowing out the block altogether.
New
improved adapter design for 2003!
Custom made adapters are supplied to suit the injection cars unusual thread
size which Rover chose to use and these are fitted with genuine "Dowty"
seals to ensure an oil tight fit.
