Engine oil bypass issue.
Attempting to start engine and the oil will leak oil at a high rate with pressure from the filter base on the block. Have tried several type s of filter with the same result. This car has set for 11 years inside. Any ideas before I rebuild?

Have you taken a reading on your oil pressure?

Are you sure it's coming by the filter seal?

yes. there is no oil leakage above this area. The very short time the engine ran (30-45 sec) I did not have the chance to look at the oil pressure indication. the oil blows pass the filter seal area very fast. I'm trying not to damage any bearing, but looks like a rebuild anyway..........

I wouldn't5 be jumping to that conclusion. There should be a base that the filter attaches to that can leak also.

If it's actually blowing out oil filters, then you must have too much oil pressure which could just be a check valve in the oil pump.

Re: chevrolet 350 oil issues	Sign In

Why would you do that without even taking a pressure reading/
