Removing the filter adapter...having troubles

[SS_Sean]

I've got the timing cover off my 109. I tipped the timing over upside down and pulled the four visible bolts on the outside bottom of the oil filter adapter cover. I can not for the life of me figure out where the other bolts are!! I'm trying to completely disassemble the timing cover, and get into the oil filter adapter area, and make sure there is no bearing material inside. If someone could please help out, I would appreciate it. Photos would be even better. Sorry, this is my first 109 tear down, and I'm not familiar with these motors AT ALL. Thanks again!

If you still have it on...you have to remove the oil cooler adapter first (the part where your 2 oil cooler lines attached to)

Unscrew the oil filter threaded nut (the part where the oil filter screws on to), I think it's 1 1/8". Then the oil cooler adapter can come off.

Once off, you should sse 2 more bolts holding the oil pump housing in place.

Look inside the oil filter adapter where the filter screws onto and you will see the other 2 bolts.
