Oil Bypass Install
________________________________________
Ok, to summarize this install...

1.) find your filter mounting location
2.) using the template, mark  drill your mounting holes
3.) attached the bypass filter input  output ports using the supplied loctite.
4.) cut hoses to length and assemble each end with supplied hardware.
Note: the hose end hardware has left handed threads and screws onto the hose. then you install the barb into that fitting.
5.) Mount the filter onto the frame (or where-ever you decide to mount it).
6.) Build up your return line cap but do not install
7.) Attached hose from bypass filter out port to return line cap.
8.) attached hose from bypass filter in port to oil filter housing output port (feeds the bypass filter)
9.) verify all connections are secure
10.) install bypass filter
11.) place return line cap over catch container to allow flushing of the system
12.) fire it up and wait for oil to come out of the return line into the container then shut it down
13.) add a quart of oil (or top it off)
14.) clean the cap and install onto the motor.
15.) fire it back up and check for leaks.

Done.

If you wrote this you left it laying on the floor at another site. I just picked it up for you.
