mork Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Would cause this to happen? I'm guessing high oil pressure, but what would be the main cause? Car has run fine in its current setup for ages. Got catch can, breather on top of cam cover, pcv valve goes to catch can, hybrid turbo. Nothing unusual, but the filter literally being blown off the block, even though it was tightened correctly.

Gainzy Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Check the threads on the filter for damage I doubt it can just shoot off?? It screws on... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yaristurbo Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Over tightened at some state and threads poor?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
glanzadude Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Cannt understand how it would just blow off but saying that you never know have a look at the filter and see the damage Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GlanzaJ Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Over tightened at some state and threads poor?? Yeh what i'd say to , did you replace the filter yourself recently or been on there since you got it ? Saying that if i was lose you would of lost alot of oil age's ago ?

5e colin Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 cant ever blow of the oil will be gone before filter fals of and seize the engine before filter vibrates off there is 1/2" of thread there is no way engine will run that long before it seizes and fals off Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Was the filter double sealed by accident ? Like a rubber seal from an old filter stuck to the block underneath a new seal and filter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikey4410 Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 As above theres no way a oil fitler can blow off through oil pressure.the filter itself would pop ages before the thread as its only thin tin metal.only factor can be a fucked thread as has been mentioned.thats all it cuda been.

mork Posted October 5, 2014 Author Share Posted October 5, 2014 Ok guys. I'll try another new filter (one that blew off was a brand new HKS filter). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
karl. Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Incorrect thread for the hks filter? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mork Posted October 5, 2014 Author Share Posted October 5, 2014 (edited) Maybe. The thread looked damaged slightly after it had come off, but I don't know if it was already like that. Been on the car 6 weeks.What about the oil pressure valve in the sump? Could it be blocked and create high oil pressure? Edited October 5, 2014 by mork Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sefton-EP91 Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 (edited) If it was an oil pressure problem the chances are something else would have given up first! E.g. Gasket/seal So I highly doubt it's an oil pressure issue ( would take ALOT of pressure to blow the filter clean off ) Chances are the filter has fallen of due to not being tightened correctly or threads have been ripped out therefore nothing is holding filter to the housing... Or could have been double sealed as already mentioned. Hope this helps mate Edited October 6, 2014 by Sefton-EP91 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mork Posted October 6, 2014 Author Share Posted October 6, 2014 Definitely not double sealed. I'll give it another go at the weekend and see what happens. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
