Wanna ditch the 90° oil filter adapter.

The new motor I installed is set up to just have the oil filter go directly to the block.

I thought I could get away with the same filter I used with the 90° adapter (PH16 I think), but it just won't seem to fit.

So after a quick search, it's looking like I want a PH43. Does that sound right to you guys?

Will I absolutely have to drop the exhaust for every filter change? If so, I don't mind too much.

Any suggestions for other compatible filters for use without the 90° adapter?
