I remember reading a post about adding an external oil filter to the Z120.
I believe a tee is placed in the line to the oil gauge, then piped to the filter inlet. The outlet was then piped to the valave cover.
Has anyone done this?
Where would one obtain the filter housing, etc?

Dennis,
I don't recall reading or seeing anything along those lines myself, but in theory it would work. The primary concern I would have is making sure your oil pressure doesn't drop below the recommended spec's in the manual. You may need to limit the oil flow rate thru the filter with a valve or drilled orifice to maintain adequate pressure in that oil gallery, as that is the main gallery for supply to your crank bearings. You would not have 100% one-pass filtration, which is no big deal, the stock crankcase filter catches <1/4 of the oil flow anyway.

You can buy generic spin-on filter housings from NAPA that bolt to any flat surface for ~$20 or so.

Then with the screw on bases, you need to be sure to find a bypass filter element that has considerable flow resistance, like a FL-50 IIRC. The classic filter using elements would have been Fram F3, F4, or F5 which are probably still available. They used elements C3, C4, or C5. Ford N series used C3. But the canister was not marked with a Fram number.
