I bought my wife a TR6 for Christmas last year and while I was changing the oil in my Healey yesterday, thought I would just take care of hers as well. What a pain and mess!
How do you get the dang filter cannister out??? It will not fit between the engine and frame from the bottom and is locked in by the fuel pump & filter, the distributor and what I suspect is the oil pressure line into the block. I have searched the forum and found lots of posts ablut converting to a spin on filter, which will be in the mail before I do that job again, but cannot see how to get it out to convert. Am I just stupid and missing something? Also, the Crosslands filter I installed was slightly different than the one I removed. The new one had one end closed with a perforated cover. I installed it on the engine side, but now am questioning that decision. Has anyone seen a filter like that and does it matter which way it is installed?
Thanks for your help,
Doug
