Finally got the 318 running. Has not ran since 98. Having issues getting the oil filter to seal? On second filter. Any suggestions, or a good filter?? Am I getting dry rotted bubber seal?
After you remove the filter look at the part that the filter screws onto, if you look closely you will see there is a hex part near the base. You use a wrench and unscrew it, then remove the plate (which might need to be pried out). There are 2 gaskets, one under the plate and one under the bolt/bung that you removed (in the guys hand in the picture out on his fingers).
It might be the filter. What I posted from what I remember The gasket kit comes with other seal. It might not let the oil filer seat correctly if the wrong seals are installed. Or a combination of wrong seals.Wix is what I use
