bob 4x4 lpg xr4i , decided yetserday to change the rubbish twincam fan that doesnt fit with my ebay scored twin cosworth one which went well even managed to get fitted to xr4x4 radiator , thought great run up to temp check ok and while I'm there change the engine oil , simple ? or not well after engine had an 5 minutes lovely oil slick under drivers side , thought curse word , oil filter unit fubar again   looks like i need to get 2 ally blocks tapped out and then welded on as failure seems to be from lack of depth of threads , could not complain at the time as it was done as a favour . the reason its been shortened as it hit the front diff and if you tried to use a boa filter bracket it hit the exhaust manifold.   |

Not at all familiar with the location of said ally thing, but could you fit a remote-oil filter? Or is this some sort of remote oil filter thing? Sorry, I can't figure it out so might be talking rubbish here  |

Failing that could you not weld some same thread nuts onto the block
This should help extend the threads possibly or is there no room for clearance

Like you say after looking at it looks like the original metal is a bit thin ,so should work if you weld some nuts onto it should give them more to grip onto
