    Bypass Oil Filter

    Looking for a bypass oil filter setup. Amsoil preferably, part number BMK34. Also, if there is an adapter that has the ability to mount to the frame without drilling. Thanks!

    Re: Bypass Oil Filter

    I've roamed through many website forums and it's easier to make your own bracket for the filter than buying a pre-made one. I've seen them vertical and horizontal holders for the filters. The person making them was working with the room they had and what they consider the easiest for filter replacement and draining. It's what you actually have available for the room and your imagination ends up being the design. As for the threaded filter head, you can get them from Amsoil or NAPA. Napa being the cheapest. My friend built a frame mounted bracket for his truck for a single oil filter bypass, and to add extra protection, made a rubber gasket that wrapped the frame before intsalling the bracket as a cushion between the metal. He has property east of Kingman and found the frame mounted one can hold moist dirt that cold start rust. So be careful when installing one. Shouldn't be to much of an issue for you in Vegas. (sorry I don't have pictures, he's 2k miles away from here) the hardest part was installing the long length of hoses seeing you must have distand away from any heat source.

    So if you got two pieces of 1/4" metal, four holes for the bolts, a filter head and hoses ... let your imagination run .. your done.
    (just keep checking to make sure you have clearance)

    I didn't even think about NAPA, I'll swing by later today and check. Just trying to get everything lined up for when I do deletes from Ray in the very near future. Want to have a good bypass oil setup and either FASS or AirDog after deletes and be done. @AnOldBiker you have helped me twice now in the same week!

    Just received my BMK34, hoping to fab a bracket and install this weekend.

    Post a pic of the install, are you mounting under the hood or pass side frame?

    Re: Bypass Oil Filter

    The 5.9's and the 6.7's are different and as the years go by, the engine compartments change and change and change. But here is my oil bypass with the minimal amount of steel bracket using existing holes. These were the common bracket designs for the 5.9s. And the one with the filter on the passenger firewall is my coolant filter.

    If there is more room in the compartment on the passenger side, you could consider installing it on the support flange as I did my coolant. A guy I met through a friend did this and used a strip of stainless on the other side of the lip for strength and uses the small Amsoil bypass filter. It comes off the main oil filter head, to the bypass head with ball valves in and out and to the oil fill cap that has a swivel inlet. When time to change his filter, it high enough to have something under it to catch oil if needed and easy to get to.

    Not knowing the room you have to work with ... Just an idea

    My coolant



    My oil bypass



    and yes I need to clean up in there ...

    Nice setup @AnOldBiker

    Anyone with a 6.7 have their oil bypass mounted vertically in the same spot?

    That is a nice setup. I have seen them under the hood mounted sideways, but didn't really like that. I'll have to look around and imagine what things will look like as parts start to fall off to see if it will squeeze in there.

    Bypass Oil Filter

    Got my oil bypass kit installed today. Made a bracket out of 3/16" thick 3" steel flat stock steel. Painted with POR 15. Made it tall enough to use the BP100 filter in the future.



    Wrapped hoses with braided SS sleeving.
