See pic. I dont believe I removed this when I had taken engine apart to have machined so maybe the machine shop did. I do believe I may have seen this among the rebuild parts they gave me but did not know what it was. I could probably get one from my local pull and save. They have some Suzuki Swifts which I believe used the same block. What is it called and is there a source for buying one? Have not tried dealer.

Well oil filter stand was on back order according to the suzuki dealer. Ended up getting a couple from the local pull and save out of a couple geo metros. Turned engine over and have pressure and oil flow to the head. Time to button everything up and double check all my wire splices. Thanks for the help.

I want to thank you for your help with all my questions and for all the info on your website. My rebuilt 16v started right up in my samurai! I now have 200 miles on it.
