Topic: Oil Filter Bolt 750 k8

[clearcan]

I bid on a new oil filter cover set up on feebay that came with a new bolt as well.  The bolt was all that i was really interested in since mine was all hacked.  So i opened up the package a few months later, today, when i was doing my oil change and noticed that the bolt is about 1.5 inches longer than the original that came out of the bike.  in my package there was another piece that looks like its a housing that goes in between the oil filter cover and the engine that would take up the additional 1.5 inches (it has an additional o-ring on one side too).  Does anyone know about this set up and will it work with my 750 k8?

I have the same set up on my 78 F2. I think it was a mod for the 77-78 bikes. Not sure if it applied to the K8 though.

Yes, Roscoe is right i believe... the extra "oil cooler" bit is only on the "F"....

Since you have the whole set up, it might fit? Try it? Or not?

It will fit fine. . . .BTW oil filter bolts are plentifully available as aftermarket pieces.  They are cheap too.   These typically come with a larger 17mm head to help avoid the rounded off bolt issues.   The larger bolt head also helps you to overtorque them too

alrighty then, i'll see if i can just pick up a new one on the cheap, if not i'll just wing it with the f setup

Just make sure you got that spacer (part number 9) in there

[clearcan]

hmm i'm not seein that part number 9 spacer.  i'll give another look, any idea's of what i could make one of these out of?

Hey all like eurban said it will fit just fine on all sohc 750s. im thinking may where as the Fs were black so they added this extra cooling thang. I put one on my sister 74 750 K I just transfer the oring from the old filter so it gets replaced every oil change. instead of just leaving that one on the cooler. so it gets a kinda fresh one. I have often wondered just how many degrees cooler they make um run . but honda must of had a reason. Its like the  real plumbed up coolers we can run I have some biker buddies (harleys)  that say oh you dont need a cooler on those. HUH! no its not over heating BUT I do think over the long haul it lengthen engine life certainly on my 836 power plant have fun Craig in Maine

I have a 78F that needs the longer oil filter bolt, if you don't end up using that one, shoot me a pm and I will buy it from you for a reasonable price or maybe trade some stuff
