Oil blowing past oil filter seal during priming - help!
Need some help or suggestions on things to check. I used my old HEI dist and tore it down to use for a oil primer. Put the electric drill in clockwise rotation and brought the drill to 500 RPM. I heard the drill starting to load up and then I see oil all over the floor.
Oil "blew" past the oil filter seal???? This is a big block if it matters. What would cause this to happen?
I double checked and the filter is correct - Bosch 3510. I had it tightened as normal.
One thing to note is the machine shop did not put the stock or factory oil filter fitting back on the block. I had to bolt this back on and notice it has a spring loaded check valve of some type. Does it matter if the check valve is toward the rear or front of the engine? Any ideas? I simply bolted this back on as it did not appear anything special was required.
Help is appreciated - Vince
