Its even more complicated than that, there were two different major designs to the screw on base relief valves, and the bases are different for each valve.

There is much discussion on relief valves here:

Seems that the later type has better reliability.

Well, Jim, it may be you had a problem, I'll not argue with that, I ran my ser ll 1495 for about 4 years with it and only set it and run it about 6,000 miles in the heat and hills. No problems. at all. I guess it is a some do and some don't..
Andy, I just checked the one mount and fitting I have on a shelf is like new, complete unit 2 part, no adjust style and has the fittings for a oil /air cooler. All you need is to make acouple of gaskets.
..If you need it let me know PM is good.

Hey Chuck,
My motor is a 1600 SIV, with no oil cooler. The oil filter base is a one piece unit with the screw-in relief valve (or in my case, the base has half of the relief valve stuck in it, the other half of which is sitting on my workbench...)
I'm not familiar with the oil cooler set-up from the 1725 motor...will the filter base from the SV motor work on an older motor?
