The link below is probably the most comprehensive comparison of oil filters I've ever found. It is a really good article for learning what makes a good oil filter and why Fram is widely considered junk. After reading this article I started cutting open my used oil filters to make sure they were "

Eric and Listers. I found that synthetic fiber oil filters do the best job, therefore I used WIX on my boat engines and I use large canister WIX in my cars and motorcycles. At the same time I use AMSoil 100% synthetic which is "THE" best oil to use on gas and diesel engines, keeps the engine clean

Don't forget when you are calculating your clearances, that your new engine/transmission combination will likely result in the drive flange being in a different position fore and aft than the old one. This is not necessarily a bad thing, especially if you want the prop a bit further back to get

Hi Carl, My change to 1" shaft was not a big deal, small expense in the scheme of repower. No change to strut except new cutlass bearing (required anyhow). Kiwiprop recommended the size & pitch. Pitch is no big deal since it's easily adjustable, unlike a Maxprop. It looks like their smallest

And, by the way, why have you decided to repower with a diesel? A complete rebuild on your A4 will result in a very suitable, effectively new, engine, acceptable performance, and a yard bill about 25% of what it will cost to repower with a diesel. Rick Brass Imzadi C&C 38 mk 2 la Belle Aurore C&
