Reviews
I got this adapter to use with an external oil filter on my Continental IO-240. My engine already had an oil temp. probe on the oil cooler adapter so I needed a way to seal the OT port on this adapter. After working with ACS customer service the manufacturer provided me with a brass plug to seal the oil temperature port. If you need to close the oil temp. port like I did make sure you purchase the plug. This adapter is very well made.
I installed the filter apt. On my c85-8 and have 75 hrs of trouble free use. I did use the oil temp port with an oil temp gauge. The probe, seats internally,in the apt. no leaks. Great product.
Q&A
Yes, this has been used for the same application before.
The pipe threads (the IN and the OUT) in the continental oil filter adapter are 3/8-18 npt (female) and the third hole is a 5/8-18 straight thread with a 45 degree chamfer at the bottom of the thread for a temperature probe to seat against.
The remote oil filter adapter that mounts to the fire wall etc. the IN and the OUT ports are 1/2-14 NPT (female).
The application guide shows that it fits A65 through O-200 engines.
