CENTRI-MAX
®
PLUS SPINDLE
REPLACEMENT
[219 EV]
Normally, it should never be necessary to replace
the Centri-Max
®
PLUS rotor spindle. However, if
the spindle is damaged in any way, replacement
procedures are as follows:

PLUS Rotor Spindle
Replacement
1. Remove the existing rotor spindle.
2. Using Loctite
®
Primer T, thoroughly clean
the threads of the new spindle, along with
the threads inside the oil filter mounting
bracket where the spindle will be installed.
3. Apply Loctite
®
271 to the threads of the new
spindle.
4. Assemble the spindle to the oil filter
mounting bracket and tighten to 15–20 lb-ft
(20–27 N•m).
5. Allow the Loctite to cure for 24 hours before
starting the engine.
Fuel Filter Replacement
[224 KP, 231 PV]
GENERAL INFORMATION
Special high filtration fuel filters have been
developed for the E-Tech™ engine. These filters
have metric mounting threads and can be
identified by the two 1/4-inch wide bands around
the circumference of the filter. Figure 74 shows
the fuel filters required for the E-Tech™ engine.
Attempting to install E7 filters with English
threads on an E-Tech™ engine (that has metric
threaded spuds) will cause the following to occur:
Primary Filter — The diameters of the filter
threads and the threaded spud are close in size.
Although the filter can be started on the spud
threads using force, the threads will be damaged.
Secondary Filter — The diameter of the filter
threads is smaller than the diameter of the
threaded spud. Consequently, the filter cannot be
installed.
Attempting to install E-Tech™ filters (with metric
threads) on an E7 engine with English threads
would not result in damage to the threads. The
diameters of the filter threads are large enough to
prevent installation of the filters.
