Hope this info helps someone, and thanks again for all the research.- Scott

Unfiltered is the Key word.
M18x1.5 is the size of spark Plugs in older Engines. If there is room to fit them in an emergency you could remov the Oil Cooler Hoses, the Filter Housing Fittings and plug the Oil Filter Housing holes with some short threaded Spark Plugs. You might have to break off the Insulators on the plugs to have enough room to do that.
If the Plugs seal on the tapered portion you would have to use some sort of thread sealant.
