Has anyone seen these threads fail in an engine of less than 1800cc. How about 2L? Above that I suspect there is reason to look at a stronger material. If you really think stronger is better, why aren't we talking about titanium, or a really good alloy steel? ;-) > - still doesn't include oil filter as stock.

How about the HP-1? BTW, I had to cut out a BUNCH of unnecessary quoted material from the bottom of this post!
