So I have one in the Werke shope that is a bad leak'er.
74 2.0L street car. Front mount cooler with the ubiquitous Mocal sandwich adapter which seems to be a significant (but not the entire) culprit. One of the issues that is probably contributing to the problem is the clearance of the oil filter. Due to the depth of the adapter the oil filter is low enough that the engine cross bar impacts the Oil filter. There is just enough clearance, but given the eng. bar is rubber mounted its without a doubt vibrating on the filter body. Anyone else deal with this & what was the solution. I checked the rubber mounts & they are in good shape. Different filter brand? Space out the Motor mounts off the case? Thanks Attached thumbnail(s)

Napa Gold #1374 is what I've been using for years. It's made by Wix so good quality. There's a thread on Pelican about it.

Just my opinion; I've seen wix filters clog up, bypass fail, and even saw one that actually exploded. Mahle, or Mann is all I will use. |
