Just finished adaptor for spin-on oil filter and cleaned and installed new filter in the draft tube canaster but the thing is dripping my just added new 20/50 w oil. Does the new filter need to soak up some oil before it holds it back or should I block off the whole mess and add PCV system...somehow?

Ron: did you ensure the drain back tube in the back of the canister, into the pan, is clear? Also, what many fail to take into account, is that crankcase ventilation is dependent on getting air "into" the engine, thru the mesh in the Oil Filler Cap. Often they are plugged with dirt & dirty oil. Hence no proper venting. Clean it thoroughly, if it won't clean up well, replace it!.. Also some small after market caps are next to useless as intake vents.

As Paul brought up, you’ll need to verify that the drain back tube is clear. This is that curved ¼” tube coming out of the road draft tube and back into the block. If stopped up, then the canister isn’t draining back to the block properly. Another spot of contention is the face of the road draft tube where it bolts to the block. If this is not true or straight, then oil is simply leaking at this point. But I like the idea of doing away with the road draft tube anyhow and going with a PCV system.

| Product Service Letter P-344 April 29, 1957 Crankcase ventilation tube oil leaks. (1957 272 truck and all 57 car engines) On some early production 1957 272, 292, 312 engines, oil leakage may occur between the crankcase ventilation cover and the cover gasket. This leakage can result from the use of the vent screen assy (EAD-6841-A) which is too long and does not allow the cover to seat properly on the gasket. To eliminate this oil leakage , use metal cutting shears to trim the vent screenassy to a length of 1 13/16 inches. I found this in my service bulletins and thought I'd share, Kevin Bigwin

I know...older topic.  I was not aware of there being a filter in there. Is it something I can take out and clean or is it one I have to purchase? If so, where would I look for one and what would the part number be? I have not noticed any issue with mine (maybe it is not in mine-the fuel pump filter was not), but I would not know what to look for if there were. Side note: Hi Kevin. Imagine seeing you over here!

| If you have not found the spin on adapter yet (you probably have by now), Dennis Carpenter has them for the trucks. He shows car catalogs, so I assmue they are in there as well. The truck part number is: B7A-6882-A Link to his site: http://www.dennis-carpenter.com/ I am sure other places have them as well. My truck has one on it. It uses the same FL-1A motorcraft as all the other fords I have owned did. davis (2/13/2008)

Ron, the guys are all on right track but i can add this, i often find when fitting road draft breather covers that the little strap holding the retaining nut is often crooked due to the cover being knocked when being moved about and the result is the tin cover only pulls down to one side and allows any oil to drip out, also the new filters are too long WIX 42841 and need trim to fit nice. I recently built new engine etc and was amazed at oil leak on floor under breather tube, and ran my finger around the canister lip and body and there it was, it was just a matter of bending the nut and strap to pull down evenly and no leaks. Hope this helps. Regards Aussie Bill. G,Day LON.
