235 oil filter

[Phil Waterman]

Hi John

If I'm not mistaken there have been several good discussions of 216/235/261 oil filter issues in the past. Which someone will I'm sure post links to shortly.

I've just finished rebuilding both a 235 and 261 and the oil pump and filter piping is an issue. It is possible to convert a 235 which is a partial filter system to a full flow filter system, a conversion that if you are doing a complete rebuild you might want to consider. I did my 235 and it seems to work good.

I'm working on a page for my website about rebuilding these engines an the oil systems which I will try and finish up and get posted soon.

The Hammond Barn thread shows what they have been upto on this issue.
