I'm changing the oil on a 97 Mohave and I gotta ??. which way does the oil bypass pin go through the filter?. One end is larger than the other and my manual says the larger end goes into the motor and the small end goes into the cover. I tried it dosen't fit am I missing something or is the book wrong??

Thanks all: Rob[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

 

this is what my clymer manual says

<< the larger end seats in the crankcase filter cavity.the small end fits in the oil filter cover bore >>


it goes on to say that if it don't fit you have it backwards. hope this helps

 

The Clymer manual says the opposite of what the Kawi manual says-go with the Kawi manual-it's right-I have both.

 

i did an oil change on my mojave today. the filter was a bitch to get into the place again. but i got it back in and now its running real good.

Thanks; Rob
