The Saga Continues...  Group: Members Posts: 320 Joined: 9-November 04 From: Miami, FL, USA Member No.: 3,080 Region Association: South East States  |
I got a new Redtop today and really was excited about getting the car - at least started.
I raised the car on one side and rotated the wheel to prime the oil system in the car before I attempted to turn an engine that has not been ran since July 2007. It started to turn and I primed the carbs with some gas and it started, but within 5 seconds the oil filter popped and drained all the oil on the garage door. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) Can someone please educate me as to how the oil filter blew from the seam? When the external oil filter was installed is there a certain in / out manner in which the hoses are placed to the external oil filter housing or am I just chasing the rabbit down the hole here?  Any help would be appreciated. Fern |
