Full Flow Oil Conversion Problem - 02/09/07 11:25 PM
Alright Guys, I am in a heap of trouble now!
I have a newly rebuilt 235 with lots of goodies.
When they rebuilt it the machine shop did not feel that they could tap out the holes required to install a full flow oil conversion as big as
suggested in the Tech Tips section so they went one size smaller.
1000 miles into this new motor the front and rear seals are blown out of the motor and I have a nice steady stream of oil coming out between the motor and transmission.
What is my best solution after replacing the seals at this point?
Should I abandon the conversion by removing the plug to the mains and plugging the newly tapped holes for the bypass oil filter?
Should I just pull the dang motor out of the car AGAIN and tap out the bypass oil filter holes bigger myself?
Any other ideas?
Thanks,
Fabian
