Cheers for the reply xyber,yeah the vw one fitted much beta but i still think its a crap idea..did it up hand tight then nipped up with rachet does'nt seem to be leacking when ran upto temp.Do you think it could blow seal on m'way say if it was'nt tight enough? -
Ok so i came to do an oil an filter change this morn on my 97 vr. Took the oil filter cover off an there was no rubber o-ring, anyway put the new filter in a mann one from gsf an the o-ring supplied seemed to big once one and hey presto!!! it pi**ed oil over my drive...Got new filter an o-ring from the stealers and it seems a tighter fit...Do you just do these hand tight because think if over tighten o-ring pops out the side....Anyone else had this hassle and what was the outcome? Sorry its a tad long Thanks in advance stu...
