I'm Awesome
So after a little camping trip Saturday before the Superbowl, we're all ready to head home, nurse our hangover and chill watching the game. On the way home, my filter adapter decided to drop all the oil in a matter of seconds.
I just posted about a gauge cluster upgrade, and for a second when I saw my oil pressure start dipping and moving all over the place I thought the gauge may have just been flipping out. Then, after a couple seconds of waiving back and forth, it drops to zero. Dead zero, then I hear the clicking - so I shut her down. It happened in less than a minute. Oil all down the road behind me.
Only an hour for the tow truck up in the hills was a miracle.
So, I think I saved the engine pulling it over so fast, but now I see that it's this adapter that blew. I can't even find a picture of the thing on the internet. I'm hoping it's a matter of getting a gasket kit. When I put oil in it and run it, its gushing out of this thing. I don't have the square head socket to pull it down, had to order that. It's just a bit smaller than a 1/2in socket.
Any advice? I'm heading to the dealership to get the exploded view of the parts and see if their fairly helpful parts guy recommends anything else since I'll be in there this weekend if the sockets show up.
This isn't exactly it, I think the picture below is a 350, the bolts look a little different. I've got two square female plugs, kind of like the 3rd member.
