just getting this 357 going after a 2yr build (ran out of money) so its just getting up and running.

Anyway, the motor is not broken in yet, cold started it. just gave it a bit of gas(2500rpm) in my driveway...boom, oil everywhere, leaking from the filter.


the adapter that is threaded is cracked in half?

its alum. tho, can you get a steel/iron one??

or should i buy another stock piece??






help, the car is 96% done and i just wana drive and enjoy it.

Likely a fluke.
I have a stock unmodified one that you can have for $20 shipped. PM me if interested.

How high is high oil pressure?

I have seen those things hold 300 psi (where the oil filter o-ring usually squirts out).

60-70

I'm running the same pressure in mine with Mobil1 15w-50 with a Canton pan and pickup for over 14 years now and never had that issue. As stated before it's likely a fluke and a bad part. Happens all the time with various other parts, just get a new one and test it out.
