ok well heres the deal.my truck blew the oil filter off.we just put the motor in and wired up.my dad started it and bam.there goes the oil filter.its pumpin to much oil.any help.

 

[Cincinnati Guy]

Did you use the right filter? Was it on all the way? Obviously something wasn't right! Any damage to the filter itself? Ie: is it intact?

 

[83ford]

i dont what all happened to the filter.i was at school but i do no its pumpin to much oil.it blew it straight off.it was on right

 

[7.3 powerstrok]

the by-pass valve in the oil pump i believe is the problem .or the oil passage is pluged

 

[Cincinnati Guy]

Are you sure it's a pressure problem or just a improper filter install?

 

[towcat]

remove what's left of the filter and check the pressure relief valve in the filter head to see if it is working properly. if so...then panic

 

[bike-maker]

Not that it applies to an IDI, but one time I hooked the lines to the remote oil filter on my Harley backwards. It ran for about 20 seconds and then BOOM; the oil filter exploded all over my left leg...........rather violently. I'm thinking a stuck pressure relief valve could have the same results.

ok, you put a motor in.... what was done to the motor before putting it in?

bearings? just curious....

 

[83ford]

ya as far as we no the filter was on right.they had started it before it was put in the truck and it was fine.i think some thin got clogged or somethin.bad thang is the motor got put in like yesterday and now we got to pull it back out

we put the 6.9 heads on.6.9 manifolds.6.9 fuel pump.new gaskets.the reason the 6.9 stuff was put on cause the 7.3 stuff was rusted to hell.the manifolds werent even solid.they were eatin buy salt.the truck the 7.3 came out of was a northen truck.4x4 f350 dually is what it came out of.

You guys bored the head bolt holes out then? The rest should bolt right on but the heads aren't interchangeable without work: for 6.9 heads on 7.3 you need to open the holes, 7.3 heads on 6.9 need sleeves...

 

[RLDSL]

if that sucker popped in 20 seconds , it seems to me that you have cylinder compression finding it's way into the oil gallery, No matter how you slice that it's not good

 

[itsacrazyasian]

I had an orange fram oil filter do that. Left the threaded bit on the oil cooler and the rest of the can blew off... That was before i knew any better.

 

[sassyrel]

pressure relief valve stuck for some reason----and you DONT need to pull the ENGINE to fix this!!!

 

[83ford]

ya i thought it had to be in the filter.om not the one workin on the truck.ill have my dad check the preasurrelif valve
