I am working on fitting an M120 into a 107, One of the challanges will be the oil, filter, AC compressor and PS pump. For the oil filter, I would like to mount it remotely, with hoses going from the block to an oil filter in a nice convinent location. Does anyone know of a kit to do this for this engine.

Also does anyone know if the preasure releif valve is in the block or in the oil filter adapter housing on the M120.

I'm not sure about the M120, but on the M103 there's one on the oil pump and one in the oil filter mount. I imagine they would have done the same on the M120.

There are "Universal" kits for the regular screw on oil filters. Again, I don't remember if the M120 is a cartridge or can style filter. If it's a "can", the external adapter will work without fabrication.

Unfortunatly the M120 is a canister. I guess I will be machining an adapter.
