[QUOTE="Peter Holmes, post: 147123, member: 302"] Bruce, yes you are correct, Phil's method is far superior, no doubt, but confronted with my problem, and with zero engineering skills or equipment I came up with the hole saw approach, and because the internal casting on my Comet was sort of an ellipse, probably the wrong terminology, but anyway the casting was rich on one side of the threaded hole, but not so the other, my hole saw just cleaned it up enough of the casting for the filter to slip over the projection, it kinda worked. But when you look into the filter chamber right to the back, the sand casting is pretty rough, it is hard to imagine that the seal between the oil filter and the casting is that good, but in some peoples eyes, better than no filter at all, Bill does not agree. But before my engine was sorted out many years ago by Tony Maughan, I well remember looking at my metal encrusted felt filter, and thinking to myself, thank god that is not circulating round my engine.
