Hello all,
This seems so ridiculous I'm almost too embarassed to hit "send," but I
recently changed the oil and filter in my '54 TF 1250, as I've done
successfully a dozen times before, and can't seem to get the filter cover to
seat correctly. When I start the car, oil comes running out of the filter
assembly. If I tighten the center bolt, it gushes out. If I loosen the bolt,
it continues to run out. I did remove the old rubber ring seal and put in
the appropriate replacement. Even tried swapping the old one back in.
Anyone have any ideas?
I used a Napa 1300 filter, by the way. Anyone have trouble with these? I
have picked up a Wix 51300 in case the problem is the Napa filter.
Thanks for any advice.
Cheers,
