i just built the motor with 12.5 comp. the motor has good oil pressure. idle at 30psi and around 90 at open throttle. now the seal breaks at idle. i tried the s2000 filter, purolater and fram, all with the same result.

i made sure the old gasket was off the block before the new filter came on.

i am really stumped o this one guys.

thanx

just try an oem skinny one, and torque it to spec. there's no reason it should blow.. unless you shimmed the **** outta your oil pump for more pressure. it'd probably be a good idea to hook up an oil pressure gauge and see what it's hitting.

 

i have the oil press gauge. its 30 at idle and 95 on full throttle. i am gonna check the relief valve on the oil pump to make sure it not stuck.

 

wow aint never seen that happen before hum? u did put lil bit of oil on the ring n/m doubt that would work yea i would try to get skinnyer one and tq. it. i should be fine

 

i just tried that and no luck. i am going to replace the whole pump to see what happens. and to add to the drama i drove my car for the first time in about 2 weeks, and some body hit me from the side. that sucked but at least i get a fresh paint job.

 

danm man that sucks big time i got fresh paint job too
hum?is the place where the oil filter goes drity something might be making it leaking and letting oil out.i dont know?????lol

 

try useing oem one for b20 it make work just a thought...

 

Is the filter seating all the way down? 90 psi shouldn't be a problem.

 

i tried the stock one but no luck. im just gonna put a b16 oil pump that i have laying around. i hope that works. now i have to fix it this week so i can take the car to the body shop.

any more opinion guys.

thanx
