Cannister Filters
 

Anyone have any tips........My cannister filter assy on the 66 is dripping........I took it off , added a new Filter and Gasket and it still dripped.......I had another Cannister, so I changed the Cannister, Gasket, and filter again and it still drips.........any advice.....

Thanks
Ken

Yeah, dont look under your car anymore. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

But serioulsy folks, there is also an O-ring or sealing washer that goes under the long bolt I believe. That never gets replaced and always drips.

https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/blush.gifOops! I mean, it depends on where the drip is. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/wink.gif Like Steve said, the gasket around the bold is likely the culprit, but you could also check the "O" ring up inside the block. Maybe there's something between the machined surface and the "O" ring. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

I forgot to mention that this is on the Rebuilt Engine that just went back in the Chevelle......Didn't leak before..Noticed it right after start up, not much ....just a couple of drips.......It's not coming from the Oil Pressure port...Bone dry there, but I can see where the drip ran down the Outside of the Cannister???????
Maybe I should take the filter adaptor out of the Block and change the Gasket there, but I think the Cannister Gasket bulges out and seals the outside of the Cannister also?????

Ken,
Is there a check/by pass valve in the adapter?

Re: Cannister Filters
 

Yep!!!!!

Re: Cannister Filters
 

How much oil pressure you running??

Re: Cannister Filters
 

Crack in the cannsiter/adaptor? Double gaskets by accident? Just mentioning the "duh" items.

Re: Cannister Filters
 

Double gaskets or a piece of crud are common causes...but I know there is no crud on your cars..so maybe it's the gaskets...good luck https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Re: Cannister Filters
 

Double gaskets is a very common error. One gets stuck up inside of the block. Good thinking Wilma! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif

Re: Cannister Filters
 

That was one of my first thoughts too Sam. But.....

Re: Cannister Filters
 

Have you inspected the cannister adapter after removing it?
It's unusual,but I had a similar scenario,and after basically doing what's already been recomended,found the adapter had a harline crack in it.
I would replace the adapter.

Re: Cannister Filters
 

After a couple of start and drive cycles, it seems to have sealed itself up https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/hmmm.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/hmmm.gif....Not a Drop anywhere.......I finally have a car that does'nt drip Oil.......... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

As the old GM mechanics used to say if your BBC is not using a little bit of oil you are not driving it properly. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif
