Just looking at oil filters for the MPi block. Going by a search, Sprocket says the thread is 13/16 UNF. Looking for a decent filter with an anti drain back valve.

I'll sort you an OEM MG rover part number when i get home. I have cut open several oil filters from Fram, Halfords, Unipart and MG Rover. The MG rover filter is by far the better one. Unipart used to do a premium filter, cant find it anywhere now since I bought the last one from minispares. No magnet in them though, but are almost identical to the MG rover ones. Those ones have a slight waist in them which makes them easily identifiable. Common part for the K series engines too so plenty available. On 26th Oct, 2004 TurboDave16v said:
Is it A-Series only? I think it should be... So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'... On 26th Oct, 2004 Tom Fenton said:
Yep I agree with TD........ |

I think my SA block uses these filters too. Same as the marina/spitfire. If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |

Monkeys! The thread is removable from teh block. I guess I could have an adaptor made up? If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |

It's a bit of a PITA as the filters I have had so far don't have a valve in so when cracking the engine up it has to re-fill the filter before it gets oil pressure.
If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |

Mine is just a bit of threaded tube with a lock nut on. It comes out easy peasy. I've taken it out a few times. If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |
