Default Vanguard remote oil filter carnage

Hoping y'all can learn from my mistake and avoid this kind of carnage:





If you use the factory remote oil filter adapters from B&S (492687 on the block and 495244 at the filter) and you don't use the B&S lines, make sure you do not connect like-size NPT fittings.

I connected 1/8 to 1/8 and 1/4 to 1/4, but the factory lines cross 1/4 to 1/8.

Took out both rods, which took everything else out... cracked block, cracked cover, scored the crank, and bent and shredded a BRAND NEW Precision cam... It was an expensive and frustrating mistake.

After diagnosing the error, I rebuilt another block TESTED the oil flow by spinning the crank with a drill before installing, and it's working fine now.

On the plus side, I now have a beautiful set of ARC rods!
