So, im driving out of the parking lot at my work today, and i heard a hissing sound, and then a wierd squirting sound. i didnt make the connection at first, but it occurred to me to look at my oil pressure gauge, and sure enough it was at zero. i whipped my hand up to shut the car off, and pulled over. got out and found the right front of my car covered in oil, the oil filter was smothered too. so i decided to touch the filter, and it fell off into my hand. the top part of the filter was still screwed on the adapter, just the casing fell off.
thats what it looked like, and i really couldnt believe what happened. so i went back to where i work (walked of course) and bought a new filter and a few quarts of oil and put it back together. upon starting it up, i can hear a serious valve tick, i think i hear a bit of rodknock, and upon driving it home ive got turbo death-whine.
this pisses me off, because i just rebuilt that motor 6 months ago, and it has held together like a champ, and i have not had a single problem since i dropped it back in. at the same time i put a newish ct-26 on it from another member here on the forums.
guess what filter?
