Re: [Chevelle-list] Oil filter SBC part II

The rubber ring on the filter seals against the block.  Some adapters seal against the block with a second surface to seal to the filter.  This gives you one more place for a leak, which is what I ran into.  The adapter bolts in with two bolts to the block.  Compare this to the cheaper MRG-1270 (http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?part=MRG%2D1270) that has O-rings and does not have a bypass valve.  I would use either the 1272 or the GM Performance Parts NAL-3952301.

I guess the one who rebuild the motor for me forgot to put this piece back.   However, this might qualify for the stupidest question of the month. The MRG-1272 and other similar adapters have just a male “bolt” for the filter and nothing to tight against the sealing on the filter. The filter has a ring of holes, doesn’t the oil leak out there?   Br Hans   -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- Från: Brad Waller [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Skickat: Tuesday, May 30, 2006 2:09 PM Till: The Chevelle Mailing List Ämne: Re: [Chevelle-list] Oil filter SBC   You need the "oil filter adapter" I bought this one: http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?part=MRG%201272 when I needed to replace a leaking old one (different brand).

Surprisingly to me the block has no "bolt" for the filter. 1. Have I ordered the filter? Looks pretty normal to me 2. Is something missing on block? Or do I have some special block which needs a different kind of filter?   Anybody how know whats wrong?   I was told the block is out of a 92 G20 van. So according to K & N, both HP-3002 and 2002 should fit.   Br Hans
