Full flow filter oil leak from Hell - 06/10/09 05:25 PM
Well my son and I built the 235 from Hell. Part of the build involved having the block machined and fitted with a full flow oil filter. About every 6000 miles it begins th leak at the input location into the block and onto the exhaust. Of course this is not accessible since the Clifford headers are in front of it so we have to remove the whole side to fix it. My question: Could we possibly be putting in too much oil and creating too much pressure. The shop manual says five plus 1 for a filter so we are running six quarts.
If not what do you use as a sealant on the threads. I have tried several out of the tube thread sealants. So far no luck.
