remote filter adapter

[thjakits]

Hi all,

I am trying to find a way to adapt an Amsoil BMK-23 kit to my car/engine (Toyota 4Runner 3liter Turbo Diesel).
Problem: About all kits/adapters/nuts I can find go to M22x1.5.
My engine uses M24x1.5

see also: http://www.amsoil.com/bypassfilters/instructions/BP252.pdf

I can't believe that the Toyota 1KZ-TE engine would be the only one using this kind of filter (M24x1.5) - as a fact, a member of this forum even sent me two Luberfiner filters to test against the OEM filter a long time ago (Still need to cut them open ...).

Question1: What other engines use the M24x1.5 filter thread?

Question 2: Any solution to be able to adapt the BMK-23 kit?

- Do you know of an adapter that fits?
- Any CNC owners that can produce a adapter/retainer nut (for an affordable price....)?
- Anything!

Thank you for your time!

PS1: No, other Amsoil kits do not have the adapter nut either.
PS2: Amsoil "cannot" procure a one-off adapter...

I'm using a Perma-Cool remote filter setup on my 4Runner. They don't list a M24 x 1.5 thread adapter but you might give them a call and see if they can make one up for use with their kits.

Alternately, there's always the local machine shop...

See if the threaded is part of a larger cast assembly ..or is in fact a "nipple". If it screws out, the internal thread may be different.

It may be big enough to re-thread to something like a 3/4-16.


Check with the parts man to see if it has a part number.

You can always use the pressure tap point method ..retuning to the pan or valve cover ...banjo bolt on the drain plug.

Did you figure anything out about it?
