Oil filter loose? Resolution will be yours. Options

[natedogg]

The thread locker would be applied to the collar that threads into the oilpump housing, not on the threads that the filter enterfaces with. This would help to keep the collar, inside the oil pump housing.

I actually like to eat small amounts of rtv blue.

This is what I did to keep mine from coming loose. Just make sure you torque it down pretty good even w/ threadlocker. But also be careful not to torque it so hard that the coolant vanes are crushed in the oil cooler.

As far as some extra crankcase ventilation. Barbing that balance shaft plug in the back of the block seems to be working well for me and not spitting up any oil yet anyway. I'm still working on the next level of crankcase ventilation.
