Hey guys,
Was wondering what you guys are running for oil filter adapters? I'm running one on my 318 and its being problematic leaking.I've only been testing and tuning since the rebuild and drove it down the street a few times.Yet it has leaked two times already,took a socket to it and it seemed to stop the leak monetarily. I thought of getting a new gasket for the adapter or just get a new adapter itself.A chevy friend of mine says that those adapters weren't "engineered" to handle 60-70lbs of oil at cold startup etc.Only running this because of clearance issues with the headers.I cannot see a brand name on my current adapter, i'd assume its a cheap import or a knockoff of some sort.
