I think I'd go with Option No. 1 that Larry Flesner posted... use the
smaller (4 qt.) oil sump and keep on going with your cowling. I have an

Also less weight, critical in a plane the size of the KR.
If Marty Roberts flew with a four-quart tank for as long as he did, I'd say
that "experiment" is proven!
There's also the option of running two oil filters, which is a compromise,
adds complexity and weight, but gives you a little more
