Hey, guys:
First, the good news.I've got 60 lbs of pressure on the gauge when I spin up
my oil pump with my electric drill. For a stock oil pump, that's great!!
That means that when I fire up my Tiger for the first time on Sunday
(hopefully.) that I should have oil pressure running out my ears.which leads
me to the bad news. I've got a couple of oil leaks in the stock oil filter
set-up, one of which is pretty bad. The bad one is at the connection on top
of the oil filter where the big bolt is that holds the filter to the
housing. The gasket is allowing the oil to just run out at a pretty good
clip. I've got that bolt twisted down pretty tightly but it continues to
leak. This is the first time that I've ever had an original oil filter
set-up on a Tiger, so I'm unfamiliar with their oddities; are you supposed
to use some sort of gasket sealer on that gasket between the shoulders of
the bolt and the housing? Is this a common problem with these stock filter
rigs?
The other leak is at the connection point between the short hose and the
block adapter. Hopefully, I'll be able to tighten it up a bit and stop the
leak, but the leak I mentioned above is so bad that there is no way that I
can start the car before fixing it. Any advice on how to properly seal that
would be greatly appreciated.
Oh, and by the way, I don't have a proper-sized wrench for the oil filter
bolt in question. I mic'd it as best I could and it comes out to be
something like a 1.410" in size. All I've got that is big enough to do the
job is an adjustable wrench, and even that is so long that I have to stand
it up and grab the shoulders of the bolt with the ends of the jaws of the
wrench. What do you guys use on yours?
Thanks much,
Andy Walker
Edmond, OK
