HI
My motor destroyed itself and I bought a NOS mpi motor from Minispares and have had my mate transferring bits over for the new engine.
I need to remove the threaded shaft in the block that the oil filter screws to and put on my new block.
How is it removed?
Hasn't been attempted yet as I don't want to damage the thread using multigrips or the like as I dont know how tight it is, or if locktite has been used or anything.
I could bolt 2 nuts on it and remove it that way, but not sure of the thread.
* How it it removed? and
* What thread is it?
Thankyou Brenton

Not sure on the thread (could be 5/8 UNF) but you will be very lucky to have or buy nuts to fit
Be a lot less hassle to buy the part CAM5331

Thanks people for their input.
I wouls just buy one, except Im in Australia and would mean buying it then paying more than its worth in postage and then waiting 2 weeks for it to arrive.
I will tell my mechanic mate it should just unscrew and will also tell him the thread.
Thankyou
