okay today we can look at oil corners or
00:00:03.800 00:00:03.810 get to start off with the budget oil
00:00:05.660 00:00:05.670 cola which is this one okay it's generic
00:00:10.369 00:00:10.379 budget oil call up 13 row with a half
00:00:14.869 00:00:14.879 inch BSP fitting on here we are the so
00:00:18.590 00:00:18.600 it has the corner itself all with the
00:00:21.710 00:00:21.720 braided steel pipes these are just a
00:00:24.200 00:00:24.210 generic stainless steel braided pipe
00:00:26.590 00:00:26.600 screw-on fittings and this screws
00:00:30.529 00:00:30.539 straight into the block or this one will
00:00:35.510 00:00:35.520 screw straight into the standard filter
00:00:40.190 00:00:40.200 head now these are top draw Swedish oil
00:00:44.870 00:00:44.880 coolers and on the race car we found we
00:00:47.750 00:00:47.760 tried one against the other and the oil
00:00:50.090 00:00:50.100 in this one around 10 degrees cooler
00:00:53.240 00:00:53.250 than it did with this one so if it's a
00:00:56.990 00:00:57.000 race car don't really bother with this
00:00:59.810 00:00:59.820 one I know the more expensive but they
00:01:02.000 00:01:02.010 do keep your oil a lot cooler and they
00:01:04.880 00:01:04.890 run with better quality hoses and
00:01:07.610 00:01:07.620 fittings so this one will run with -
00:01:11.000 00:01:11.010 eight fittings it runs with these pipes
00:01:14.539 00:01:14.549 which are a braided nylon hose classic
00:01:19.520 00:01:19.530 look and then they come with these
00:01:22.160 00:01:22.170 cutter fitting it cuts actually into the
00:01:24.680 00:01:24.690 part to hold it on these are the little
00:01:26.960 00:01:26.970 adapters to go into the block there's an
00:01:29.660 00:01:29.670 11 16 UNF 1 with a Doughty washer on for
00:01:34.130 00:01:34.140 the SPI block or there's a 5/8 UNF block
00:01:37.719 00:01:37.729 size for the A+ and a series there's no
00:01:42.410 00:01:42.420 absolute definitive answer as to whether
00:01:45.440 00:01:45.450 you will need an oil corner or not nor
00:01:47.690 00:01:47.700 all of thumb is road cars mildly toned
00:01:51.340 00:01:51.350 shouldn't really need an oil cooler
00:01:54.010 00:01:54.020 sprint Hill Climb cars because they're
00:01:56.840 00:01:56.850 only doing short runs not really a
00:01:59.810 00:01:59.820 hundred percent necessity a circuit car
00:02:03.190 00:02:03.200 most of the time will need an oil cover
00:02:06.530 00:02:06.540 one purely and simply because
00:02:08.830 00:02:08.840 the hot your oil gets the thinner it
00:02:11.680 00:02:11.690 gets the less lubrication is producing
00:02:15.339 00:02:15.349 because it's so thin you get to like
00:02:17.559 00:02:17.569 water if you don't want to run an oil
00:02:19.750 00:02:19.760 cooler we can then go down this route
00:02:21.910 00:02:21.920 and what we've got here are two
00:02:23.770 00:02:23.780 different filter heads both Billy ones
00:02:26.339 00:02:26.349 and you'll see we've done quite a few
00:02:29.050 00:02:29.060 improvements on them we've put a brace
00:02:31.089 00:02:31.099 across here just to stop it flexing but
00:02:33.790 00:02:33.800 the main mod is the rear face the rear
00:02:37.300 00:02:37.310 face is a lot bigger and the gasket loin
00:02:41.620 00:02:41.630 is a lot bigger and also there is a
00:02:45.300 00:02:45.310 gasket actually pretty produce that's
00:02:49.479 00:02:49.489 the right size for it so you've got an
00:02:51.729 00:02:51.739 awful lot more contact area so the
00:02:54.729 00:02:54.739 gasket doesn't boil as he does on the
00:02:56.380 00:02:56.390 standard filter also you'll notice we've
00:02:59.650 00:02:59.660 took out the release valve which can be
00:03:02.400 00:03:02.410 can cause trouble
00:03:04.199 00:03:04.209 so what a lot better this one again like
00:03:08.050 00:03:08.060 I say you can actually take that out and
00:03:10.900 00:03:10.910 you could if you wanted to buy the
00:03:13.420 00:03:13.430 filter head on its own and use the
00:03:15.849 00:03:15.859 standard stock steel pipe but most
00:03:19.960 00:03:19.970 people buy the filtered with the fitting
00:03:22.599 00:03:22.609 and the braided steel pipe one thing to
00:03:27.520 00:03:27.530 note on these we do supply them with
00:03:29.140 00:03:29.150 stainless steel Allen cap screw bolts
00:03:32.170 00:03:32.180 for mounting one on the your right hand
00:03:35.559 00:03:35.569 side my left fits in nice and easy but
00:03:38.860 00:03:38.870 to get the one on the right hand side in
00:03:40.530 00:03:40.540 really you should be taking the adapter
00:03:43.090 00:03:43.100 out putting the screw in and then
00:03:46.059 00:03:46.069 tighten it up with a ball end allen key
00:03:48.280 00:03:48.290 and then fitting the pipe and the
00:03:50.319 00:03:50.329 adapter afterwards this is the hose -
00:03:53.379 00:03:53.389 six fittings both ends into an alloy
00:03:56.440 00:03:56.450 fitting into the filter head alloy
00:03:58.809 00:03:58.819 fitting into the block and then the pipe
00:04:01.300 00:04:01.310 pipe joins the two if you're running a
00:04:04.990 00:04:05.000 race engine we tend to fit this one if
00:04:09.520 00:04:09.530 it's not going to be running with an oil
00:04:12.430 00:04:12.440 cooler
00:04:12.879 00:04:12.889 so now you've gone from the dash six up
00:04:15.759 00:04:15.769 to the dash eight with the braided pipe
00:04:18.839 00:04:18.849 but the filter head is now
00:04:22.480 00:04:22.490 so we can differentiate between the two
00:04:24.490 00:04:24.500 has a - a fitting you can see a lot lot
00:04:28.629 00:04:28.639 bigger fitting bigger hole and again the
00:04:32.800 00:04:32.810 pipe is a bigger fitting so - 8 on to
00:04:36.430 00:04:36.440 the - 8 had then you use one of these
00:04:40.180 00:04:40.190 fittings into the block like so we're
00:04:45.279 00:04:45.289 just really quick summary then on the
00:04:47.290 00:04:47.300 kits all call the kits putting oil
00:04:49.450 00:04:49.460 caller Brady pipes this is the set wrap
00:04:53.320 00:04:53.330 top drawl race quality with the braided
00:04:56.439 00:04:56.449 pipes proper - ain't fittings will make
00:05:00.909 00:05:00.919 your blood cooler than that one or if
00:05:03.550 00:05:03.560 you don't want summer Nikola we've got
00:05:05.469 00:05:05.479 both filter heads with either the black
00:05:08.260 00:05:08.270 braided hose for the black filter head
00:05:10.810 00:05:10.820 or the silver braided hose for the
00:05:13.480 00:05:13.490 silver filter head there you go so
