I need some help from the collective:
I have used a Mocal spin-on oil filter adapter and oil cooler for the past
10 years on my TR-6 without problem. The unit installed as advertised ans
has never leaked. So... I put the new engine in the TR this week and put
the adapter on with new o-rings, started it up, and dumped several quarts
of oil on the driveway. Subsequent trouble shooting has found me trying
both the large and small inner o-rings, repeatedly reseating the outer
o-ring, and adding washers to the retaining bolt (to increase the pressure
on the o-rings..... all to no avail - still spews oil everywhere. Has
anybody else has a similar problem and how did you solve it (other than
going to the manufacturer, which is not a viable solution for those not
living in the UK)
Thanks,
Hugh Barber
'73 TR-6
