2000cc Zetec Blowing Oil filter seal
Discussion
I have a 1988 Super 7 with a Dunnell Engine 2.0L Zetec (1995), Ive owned the car for 20 years with major engine issues.
8 weeks ago I changed the oil and filter, 100m or so later the seal on the oil filter blew out and the engine lost its oil (warm engine). I put this down to a dodgy filter, replaced it and re filled with oil.
Then again 50-60 mile later with a warm engine the same thing happened......
What can cause this?
Too much oil pressure?, I read up and some say its a oil pressure release valve, I've spoken with engine builder who seem to doubt this.
Has anyone come accross this problem before?
