Good find nims. Yes i put ALL of my oil on the track first time hit today. My brand new billet oil pump blew my $2 oil filter off. ep- i did go to the tower and apologize to the race director for what it is worth and to the guys that had to clean that sh1t up. | |||

Everything is good just made a-mess for the staff. Quite bit of oil clean up under car. It was a freak thing that happened and nobody is to blame. ep | |||

good to hear it was only the cheap oil filter | |||

Good thing it happened on the starting line and not down track. Canister type filters are a good choice for racing although I prefer disposable spin ons. | |||

Many moons ago I had an oil filter do the same thing right off the starting line. But I think the connecting rod that went through it had something to do with it....... 272" Spitzer 540 Chevy The Blower Shop XR1 FTI XPM Series Converter FTI Level 6 Powerglide 3.69@199 .916 60' 2017 Bradenton Heads Up Madness Open Outlaw Champ 2018 PDRA T/D #5 2019 PDRA T/D #2 2020 Retired From T/D Competition.... 2020 Bradenton NMCA Hemi Shootout Winner 2021 getting back into bracket racing with a Gen3 Hemi powered 87 Cutlass. | |||

in over 30 years bracket racing, using Fram Racing oil filters, then Wix Racing oil filters and for the last 4 years K&N Racing oil filters, I've never had a an oil filter blow off. I'd like to know who's filter. As Mark alluded to, it could have been much worse. ep you sure it was tight? | |||

Good for you  If you don't mind me asking, what billet pump, how much pressure, and what oil filter brand? | |||

My issue was with the oil filter adapter not actually the filter itself. It allowed the filter to lose seal. No harm no foul. I typically run wix or kn myself. ep | |||

Moroso pump. 90# in water box. Purolator filter | |||

That’s alot of pressure and a cheap filter. | |||
|

Agree. My adapter was the issue though not the filter. Although it was a cheap filter. My motor is fresh due to a cracked piston so the filter was the break in filter. ep | |||

Glad it was not worse, glad you're OK & glad you apologized to the race director/clean-up guys! 2BKING is way too glad.  1980 Camaro Taking the Best Working Small Tire Shyt Box & making it Greater Than Before! 3000 lbs. Pump Gas 436 | |||

I agree! Why a cheap oil filter on a break in pass? 51061R here. I hope you have no internal damage. Good luck! | |||

This happened almost 40 years ago but I still have a vivid memory of one of the starting line crew picking up the connecting rod laying on the track, he didn't hold it very long.......  272" Spitzer 540 Chevy The Blower Shop XR1 FTI XPM Series Converter FTI Level 6 Powerglide 3.69@199 .916 60' 2017 Bradenton Heads Up Madness Open Outlaw Champ 2018 PDRA T/D #5 2019 PDRA T/D #2 2020 Retired From T/D Competition.... 2020 Bradenton NMCA Hemi Shootout Winner 2021 getting back into bracket racing with a Gen3 Hemi powered 87 Cutlass. | |||

Likely a finer micron cut during the initial break-in. That was my rationalization for doing it. Illegitimi non carborundum | |||
