Oil filter bulge, Jiffy Pop NEW concern, 1 cyl intermittently pre-detonates help! Michigan Build, 2016 Build-Off Options

[Garland]

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.

Me to, here it is!

Used a home made slide hammer, after taping the piston. Washed out and Cleaned up the passage , and going to replace the piston, spring and cap.

I would go directly to tangerine racing, do not pass go, do not collect $200.

I would not trust that bore ever again.

Sorry to hear of your concerns...
Now that you know that is has all that corrosion in there, maybe you should split the case and check if the rest of the motor is not in the same state of health. Proactive vs having the possibility of it blowing up down the road.
Just a thought.

I agree:

I think something is blocking the final oil galley right before the bearings (in diagram where it says out to lifters cam and crank), or before the oil pressure port.

to pressurize the oil filter like that I dont believe he is getting ANY flow to the bearings.
I still dont believe a stuck piston could block ALL the flow.
I think the passages in the engine are all going to look like what he found in the bore of the pressure relief valve.
