Thread on oil filters

I bet he stripped it tightening it on too much...
Or are you trying to find a cheaper oil filter that is the same thread and such?
If all else fails, either call mahle and see if they will tell you, or get a thread measurer and do it yourself, shouldn't cost much.

Looks like it's 3/4" 16 judging from this site. http://www.batinc.net/files/kits.pdf That's the way the doc makes it appear, anyway.

It's 20mm, with a 2 5/8" seal
I dont know the thread pitch though.
I do know that http://www.cantonracingproducts.com/...te_filter.html #22-597 will work.

Thanks adrial, I was hoping there would be something around that already worked. I remember from searching that you were making a remote filter setup, did that work out?

Has anyone had problems with the CR seals leaking after a few months? I was about to do a remote oil filter myself and remember seeing a few posts on search about the seals getting weak and leaking. I've done remotes on several Non-P cars but never with the Canton system.

I bet most other cars did have the oil filter less then an inch from the damn exhaust manifold

I did get it working on my car, but got busy with the rebuild before I could make any more.
It is very doable.
I hope to do a kit which makes use of a standard spin on oil filter as well as the current one that uses the canton filter.

Do not use a Canton Racing spin on filter in the normal orientation on our cars. By that I mean do not buy one and simply spin it in place were a regular filter would go. The anti drainback flapper valve they use is just a big rubber disk and after a couple hundred miles it takes a set and doesn't work anymore. I used one for a year or two and used to have to replace the anti drainback flapper constantly. If I haven't been clear on this point their anti drainback valve SUCKS, it doesn't work! What's worse is they wanted nothing to do with me when I tried to inform them of what I was experiencing. Luis de Prat was interested in using one and let them know what I had experience and IIRC they told him this was impossible. They wouldn't even respond to my several e-mails to them.
Oh, and I still have the filter exactly as it came of the car with valve still in place, and if you shine a light up through it you can clearly see how deformed the flapper is after just a couple hundred miles. Just like every single other one I replaced.
If you going to remote your filter, just use stock OE style filters.

Smart boy! No need that I know of for "better" filteration that the Canton filter supposedly provides. The only other benefit I see with their canister is that is would be pretty hard to blow up with a high pressure spike
