Dale, No, you must have me confused with my evil twin.  ;-)
I did the engine myself.  I left the oil filter pad alone.  It was a
J-SPEC engine and really didn't need much.  I did the mods recommended
by Tracy as well as installing TES o-rings throughout.  I didn't go with
high-compression rotors as I had planned on turbo-charging... since
changed my mind on that.    Mark S.

Mark,

  Didn't you say your engine was built by Bruce (Turrentine)?  Doesn't
that mean that you no longer have the factorY oil filter adapter pad atop the rear housing?

Don't get me wrong, the K&N filter is a great unit, but I only bought
one because I had to have a high pressure remote filter.   

Rusty,

I don't have that option as I can't fit the stock filter under the
cowl,
unless I smash it down with a big hammer or put a bump in the cowl.
:-0

 

Only real benefit I can think of is that the remote filter can be
mounted down low so that you don't dribble oil on your pretty engine
when changing the oil & filter.  Also, more filter choices with the
remote mount.
