pauleyEverything 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.

1320racergood to hear it was only the cheap oil filter
August 26, 2023, 09:29 AM
markemarkGood 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.

"The Bender"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.......

1320racerin 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?

That’ll do it. LOL

pauleyMy 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.

pauleyMoroso pump. 90# in water box. Purolator filter
August 26, 2023, 10:23 AM
1320racerThat’s alot of pressure and a cheap filter.
August 26, 2023, 10:27 AM
pauleyAgree. 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.

I agree!
Why a cheap oil filter on a break in pass?

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.......

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