no,
and........they guy who mentioned that an ALH oil filter sticks up high
enough to go through the engine cover.........
that's not really the issue at all about ALH's......
it's that diesel vanaogn engine mounting parts, and oil pan, and all that 50
degree stuff doesn't bolt up to an ALH.

an AHU goes in just fine as far as the engine cover is concerned. it's
either no mods at all, or *barely* any.
