RE: Metal chunks and trash on oil filter threads.
By Courtney Bolze - 01/02/2003 10:56:36 PM; IP 151.199.155.75
Years ago I noticed excessive amounts of metal bits, slivers, debris and trash on the threads of new oil fliters. It seemed the worst brand was Motorcraft! (Got 1/2 turn shaving out of one) I noticed this when I was prefilling my oil filters as I allways do. I switched brands to one that is cleaner, but they all have some amount of metal in the threads. Everyone, go out to the garage/shop and take a new filter and a clean white rag, wrap it around your finger, insert it in to the threaded hole and give it one turn as to "unthread " it and see how much metal is on the rag. It pains me to think how clean and meticulus (SIC) I was on my last rebuild only to send a bunch of metal shavings straight to the main bearings:(. Eveyone, clean those threads before prefilling the filter, JMO, Courtney Bolze.
This thread, so far...
