Do you know how you put the filter in?
Should be attached to the cap first, then put in.

 

Holy **** no bueno. Not good to hear man

 

x2 i had one like that once and i think i had just put it in wrong, either way that sucks!

i reeally wanna see this thing run and run well. such an all out s/c build; it's my dream really

props for sticking with it and here's to gettin it done!

 

This job could be a quick turn around.

Check all the rods and make sure the pistons and cylinders arnt hurt.

 

we know it was the culprit

 

What's the part number on that filtet bro. I remember getting wrong filters like I said in your other thread.

 

he put the filter in correctly he is no newbie

 

Maybe if the motor is nice and broken in, it might not affect it as much. I had about 1500 on the new motor.

Yes.. this is not my first time...

It was a Bosch filter, something like 3330 or similar. I remember looking it up in the book before I picked it off the shelf.

I don't believe there is any difference in oil filters between Gen 1 and 2 Ecotecs. The one for the LE5 block that I have should be the same as the LSJ.

 

All the ecotecs use the same filter.
I own a lsj and a car with a le5 in it.
I just order 10 at a time from CED
Change the filter every 1k miles in the cobalt and every 25% in my pontiac G6 le5 wife's car.

 

every thousand miles!

 

That sucks man. Especially since it hasn't been back together for too long.

No kidding, way to throw money away for no reason.

 

Hes not changing the oil every thousand miles... just the filter. I see nothing wrong with that

 

Nope...maybe a little over the top but a nice cushion for extra protection.

 

That may be the part number you looked up, but was the correct filter in the box. Maybe its miss boxed. What the actual number on the filter you pulled out of your motor?

 

I use to change the oil every 1k.
But was convinced to just change the filter.

U would be surprised how shitty our filters r.

And plus Wen u buy 10 filters they r Like $6-7 each

And i send off for oil analysis.

But the car is broke now lol stupid TOB

 

Tob seems to be a very common issue around here lately. Mine took a **** too couple months back.

 

Awe NOOOOOO!!!! So sorry to see this man!

So what crushed the filter if infact it was installed correctly?

 

The filter dose look like it was put in the housing then the cap screwed Down.

 

it was the correct filter

it was

 

I know Jordan well enough to know he'd install the filter correctly, so you guys just chopping it off as bad filter or gonna look into. I know that worry me and I'd do a little more digging

 

If that was a bosch oil filter, I can understand some of the distortion to it (minus what ever else happened).

I ran one of those once, and when I removed it the next oil change the pleats were all distorted. I stick with the genuine AC Delco filters. Never had a problem with them.

 

it more then likely was the filter a lot of the pleats were folded over on them selves

the crank was within spec the rods were within spec he did not have a noise UNTILL A FEW MILES AFTER HE CHANGED THE OIL WITH THAT BOSCH FILTER

 

Ahhh that's good news. Then some new bearings and slap her back together.

 

no its not good news the only news to report will be once we tear it down

 

I know, I read. Replacing the filter every 1K miles is pure pointless
