[AT] Oliver S55 oil filter seal

[Wrench50 at aol.com]

I had a S55 with an aluminum oil filter adapter that the filter would leak  
or pop off at the slightest touch. The threads looked ok, but I guess they 
were  worn out. I had a cast iron filter adapter off a parts S55 that I 
installed. No  more problems. Del

Alan;

That should be a partial flow oil filter and  only has oil flow from the 
pressure relief valve. Remove the filter  adapter off the engine and check 
to 
see if the return passage is blocked  back to the crankcase. Had a Case VA 
that was completely plugged  there.
