Did you use a new orange o ring when you installed your oil coolant cooler?


That one went on me. Took me forever to figure it out, because it *looked* like the oil was coming from the filter side of the cooler. Annoying little gasket.

From my experience you can only use it once and that is it. The o ring stretches when you take it off and try to reuse it.

Santa I see your using a external cooler. I am thinking about going that route next year.

I run the external oil cooler on my setup-no problems like that!

-A. Swift That has nothing to do with the oil filter o-ring blowing out :lol: It was most likely me over tightening it.

I have no oil cooler as of right now. Just a regualr oil filter housing, like I had said above. Wix filter just arrived from napa, and I'll be swinging by MAP to grab a set of rod bearings just becuase. It will be running again tonight. Its just a pain in the ass cleaning all the oil off the new driveway!!!! My engine bay actually looked kind of decent until now lol. My oil filter had lossened itself last year when I was racing Jake in his s/c viper. I was lucky it didnt come all the way off. I tightened it up and on with the night.

So wait, you have no oil cooler at all? no external and no water?

Did you port the relief valve opening on your filter housing? If you have no balance shafts and no squirters you can get insane oil pressure that blows shit out.

A few min with a die grinder can drop your oil pressure 40psi.

I have oil squirter's machined into my block. I didn't port the housing I didn't want to get any metal shavings into my oil pan. I'm going to be doing that now that I'm replacing my rod bearings. I also think I've got a little excessive crank case pressure, that might be causing the problem also.
