Yeah. When I got the adapter from Moss I bought the 'correct' filter; it wa=

they just used thinner metal and the end caps were paper instead of metal, =
and I don't think their anti-drainback valves sealed as well.=20

Hi,=20
I=E2=80=99ve recently fitted a spin-on kit onto my 3000, the one that goes =
straight onto the block.=20
Which filters do you guys use? My kit came with a Unipart GFE 166 (CB6). I =
don=E2=80=99t know what the CB6 means.=20
I gather that the GFE 166 has been superseded by the GFE 443.=20
So far as I can see it does not have an anti-drain back valve and it seems =
rather small for a 3 litre engine.=20
Ideally I=E2=80=99d like a longer filter with a valve and hopefully a hex o=
n the end for easier removal. Can=E2=80=99t go wider or it will be into the=
starter motor.=20
Any ideas???=20
Thanks,=20
