I need assistance. I need to make the connections from my Cumo oil filter to the engine. I have studied the manuals without success. I am dyslexic but can follow figure out what to do in a good photo.

Thanks in advance!

Chuck

These may help.

Short oil line:

Long oil line at filter side:

Long oil line at block side:

It's not shown in the photos, but the long line should have a clip that goes through one of the timing gear cover plate bolts. And there should be a grommet where the long line goes through the hole in the oil filter bracket.

Owen-
Thank you so much. I thought those were the places on the engine receiving the connections by virtue of the lengths of the respective hoses. There was no oil filter installed by the mechanic who rebuilt my engine.
