This engine is for my Michigan Build, 2016 Build-Off Challenge. Needed to come to the "Garage" for some help.
Fresh rebuilt on start up, my first oil filter inflated, then leaked at the seal. Second try, filter massive leak blew the seal out. I have a flow probem. Looking for help. I must be building pressure, just won't leave the filter. ![]() ![]() |

I think it will still work. I cleaned up the bore and the piston, but just a bit. Using the cap, washer, and piston from the boat anchor.

One problem with these is a ridge develops over time and the piston can get stuck on it. Looks like yours was from corrosion, but I would still check. Some have cleaned out the bore with fancy tools or even a dowel with sandpaper glued to it. |
