[QUOTE="Martyn Goodwin, post: 39364, member: 2433"] You confirm the experience of some other Comet owners. The Spares company seems to be supplying a filter element that is genarally not fit for purpose. I also ame now searching for a suitable alternative supply. Can anyone confirm for me the INTERNAL diameter of the oil filter chamber itself??[ QUOTE=aldeburgh;39350]Have now found that I have the same problem, at some point in the past a Spares Co. filter has been fitted and it is obvious from the way the end is bent inwards and the marks on the sealing rubber that it has not been seated properly. For the filter to sit over the crankcase boss it needs to have a 30mm bore on that end, the new one I have just ordered has a 20mm bore and a sticker stating that I may need to open the bore up. I am a Diesel generator engineer by trade so I will track down an oil filter which will fit, and require NO alterations (not ideal to risk getting swarf in a new filter) when I have a part No. I will post it on here.[/QUOTE] [/QUOTE]
