John---Filtering-wise, it shouldn't make any difference. However, the
centering of the filter is better served when the bolt centers the filter at
the block and the spring loaded bi-pass valve centers the opposite end of the
filter. You have it correct.
Just as a footnote on this subject, it looks like the Bentley Manual has the
oil flow "arrows" opposite as to the way they should be. To get the bi-pass
valve to open, as in the case of a clogged filter, oil flow has to come down
the center and return down the sides. No?

Subject: [6pack] Crossland oil filter
I installed a new Crossland canister type oil filter and I'm not sure
I have it in right. One side is wide open and the other has a hole the
size of the center bolt. I put the more closed side toward the block.
Is this correct? Thanks, John Mitchell 76 TR6 72 Stag
