Oil Filter Canister Seal Question

Hello,

I recently spent some time with a coworker rebuilding my 283 (pic below) for my 1964 C20.

I noticed that I had a minor oil leak from my oil filter canister (pics below), which has a weird, spring-loaded bolt assembly. I could not figure out how to disassemble it or replace the rubber ring/seal, and I honestly had difficulty finding a diagram or replacement for this particular flavor. A lot of the filter canisters I reviewed were screw-on. Any thoughts or help would be appreciated.

Re: Oil Filter Canister Seal Question

Here is the solution to your problem. The bell that the filter rests on has a spring under it. It is held in place by 2 ears that were made by a special tool that cut the bolt and rolled out the material to hold the bell from moving. You can remove these with a long cold chisel and the bell will come off. Under it will be a seal and a washer and the spring. Remove them and in most cases the seal will be ok. The hardest part of this is to have some one cut a new groove in the bolt just where the metal that was folded out stopped. Then you can install the new copper washer, and reassembly everything and use a snap ring to fit the new groove. Do this one time and it will last the rest of your life.
The seal is just a fat "O" ring.

Or just purchase an adapter for a spin on filter.

Interesting, I did not know they sold adaptors. How does that work? I'll look around LMC/the web to see if I can find one.

Thanks for all of the helpful feedback Accelo. I will certainly purchase one of these the next time I change my oil.
