Oil Filter By-Pass and Remote
Filter Bracket Mounting
1. Place drain pan underneath oil filter and remove
filter from engine block.
Note: A complete oil change is not necessary for this
installation but is recommended if oil has not been
changed within 2,000 miles.
2. Check by-pass adapter and remote filter mounting
bracket to be sure they are clean and free of any metal
chips or burrs.
3. Insert o-ring into the groove located in oil filter
by-pass adapter. Lubricate top of o-ring using a light
film of oil. Spin by-pass adapter onto engine block until
snug, then tighten an additional 3/4
to 1 full turn same as the stock oil filter (Refer
to illustration).
4. Select the best location for remote oil filter
mounting bracket. The firewall, fenderwell, or frame rail
are convenient locations. Be sure oil filter has sufficient
ground clearance and mark location for remote bracket
with a grease pen or scribe.
Note: Remote oil filter bracket can be mounted verti-
cally or horizontally whichever is most
convenient for your application.
5. Before starting, measure distance between by-pass
adapter on engine block and remote oil filter bracket.
One length (60”) of high temperature hose is supplied
to complete the connections. This hose must be cut in
two (2) individual lengths. Before cutting, make sure
remote oil filter mounting
bracket is located close enough to the by-pass adapter.
For installations that require more hose length,
Mr. Gasket has available a 96” length of hose
part no. 7697, this will allow using two (2) lengths of
hose up to 48” each for these applications.
6. Use the remote oil filter mounting bracket as a tem-
plate and mark mounting holes with a grease pen or
scribe. Center-punch hole locations and make sure
underside is free and clear from any obstructions. Drill
three (3) 3/8” holes through
surface and debur holes.
7. Place remote oil filter bracket onto mounting
location and attach using 5/16” hex head bolts,
flat washers, and lock-nuts supplied. Tighten all nuts
and bolts securely.
Note: The dual remote oil filter mounting bracket
requires installing hex head bolts through bracket from
the back side.
