The NAPA 1458 oil filter needs a replacement oil filter housing assembly or machined adaptors made to get them to spin on. There is no known spin-on filter that can "just work" with the stock setup. The oil filter housing that uses the 1458 filter is machined different to allow the filters to...
I refer you to remote oil filters (it's what I have and uses better filters):

RE: Coolant Leak
If it's pouring out with no pressure in the cooling system, sounds like a big hole in the block...Thats too bad. Still a good parts engine. Injection pump, oil pan, oil pump, heads, injectors, oil cooler, etc.
It talks of water, not oil. I have a small amount of oil leakage from the front head...Also on the right side. Does oil count as normal too? I know just about everyone has some oil leakage, but does the Army consider it normal? Why does this engine need the vents?
Looks good. Have you asked the seller more about the titling?
How can he have the "government title" and have it registered? You give the DMV the "government title" (SF-97) when you transfer it into your name. So... how did he register it, if he never transfered it into his name?
So how would you only have one airpack? You want to only have half of your brake system have power assist?
It would be great if someone can find a good part number for a deuce dual circuit master cylinder.
Re: RE: batteries
Well, what are the specs on the 6TL batteries?
My originals have long sense been recycled, but I seem to recall only 650 CCA. Typical, good, automotive batteries, such as the ones I have, are 800 CCA. Two 800 CCA batteries wired in series for 24 Volts should yield a...
The stock battery setup uses two 12 volt batteries wired in series. You could get replacement 6TL batteries or just get some walmart batteries. I am using three batteries... Two in series for the 24 volt system and one for the 12 Volt. All cheap Walmart's.
The 1458 Filter oil filter does have an anti drain back valve. But that looks to be the only "upgrade" by using this filter.

Here's a quick update on oil pressures.... Before installing the filters I was getting 12-14 seconds of no oil pressure on startup. With the remote filters installed, I am getting 2-4 seconds at startup. Pretty dramatic difference!
Below is a crude picture of a simple way to plumb into the...
I have a solution for plumbing the "out" of the filters to enter the engine through the hollow center shafts. I will have to draw up a picture of my idea. Should only be minor fab. Good call by Bjorn on the cooler. Hopefully I can finish up the updated design this weekend. I am ready to be...
