    Oil filter question

    Why would my oil filter on my 351 get loose over time? Any ideas?

    Cant say I've had that problem. Do you oil the seal of the filter before you screw it on? I always do and have never had a problem. Maybe try scuffing the seal surface on the block a little with some 200 grit emmery paper (making sure to wipe it spotlessly clean after). Another thing you can do is just try tightening it up more, or a different brand of filter.

    Found the problem. Valve body inside oil pump was frozen shut so at above idle RPM's, to much oil pressure to filter causing it to bulge away from block.
