Engine spitting oil through the oil filter
 

I just rebuild an old CJ7 85 258 cyl. After 5-6 hours of running on idle I
shut the engine for a week.

After a week, I started the jeep and it start empty the engine oil through
the filter. I shut the engin, remove, clean and put back the oil filter and
restart it again. It blow all the engine oil through the filter again.

What is the issue...

thanks

Dan

I hope you did the initial break-in correctly.
Sometimes something gets stuck in the oil filer's check valve,
other wise you're describing a bad main.

Re: Engine spitting oil through the oil filter
 

I am a bit confused. Are you talking the oil or air filter?

If the oil filter, you maybe have the old o-ring stuck on there....

If the air filter, the charcoal canister is shot or the PCV line has a
kinked elbow. I can run you through some tests if that is it.

Are you sure that you got the old filter's gasket off? I did that once
with a Ford that had been sitting for more than a few years, never
noticed that the old gasket stayed on the block.
