Guest 1929Chandler Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Help !!! I have a new rebuilt 292 Y block . 1956 I had it running a couple days . Then one morning when it cranked it blew ot the gasket under the oil filter plate (spin on filter). I tried new gasket,double gasket,thick gasket, all with same results. ordered new plate & bolt same results . We used the old oil filter because we did not want oil pressure to high . It was at 30 lbs but I can not get gasket to stay long enough to test oil pressure. Has any one delt with this problem before ? Any sugestions ?

Guest simplyconnected Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 This sounds like your oil pressure relief plunger is stuck in your oil pump, causing very high pressure (over 60-psi).This is a sleeve that slides freely inside a bore, with a spring pushing against it. That's how it regulates oil pressure.Normal oil pressure should never cause filter gasket problems. Hope this helps. - Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
