It was, when I was using oe filters

That was an old gauge off of Noah's ark. When I replaced it with a new gauge it was fine, apparently.....

That particular one looks too big. However i have had a bosch oil filter that was exactly the right size for a gtt many years ago.

The payen gaskets are about the same as the mellior gasket if anybody is struggling for a headset?

**Mr Raider** · 14-09-2013, 14:31

When I was in GSF panic buying 3 purflux oil filters, I asked about the mellior/corteco head gasket set, R11402, there are a few still kicking about £45+ vat, one of these is on my list for the spare stash! lol

what all the panic guying about, my local motor factors tells me he can get all the mahle filters I want and he can also get the purflux filters. I have just bought 4 mahle and 1 purflux. I was going to use the mahle for run in purpose and then change to the purflux.
