Roger Cumming Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Casing split on oil pump ☹️ ☹️. Any tips to remove without removing half the exhausts. Not really a problem. Its getting the spanner around those flow and return connections on top, looks impossible?? Need to do it on Friday so I can join Matt and crowd at Northampton MS!!

Stationary M25 Traveller Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Assume it mst be a dry sump external pump ... not the internal one in the engine ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leadership Team SLR No.77 Posted February 11, 2014 Leadership Team Share Posted February 11, 2014 There's no pump on the exhaust side of the block even with a dry sump system Are you referring to the sandwich plate for an Apollo tank or oil cooler?

Roger Cumming Posted February 12, 2014 Author Share Posted February 12, 2014 Great, the wrong bit has just arrived from Redline!! Sorry to be clear it is the housing that receives the filter on the side of the block and mine has an Apollo tank which is fed from this housing by two 10/12mm flow and returns. It is those connection nuts that I suspect will give me some stick sitting right under the alternator and some of the manifold exhausts might be a problem. Unfortunately Redline sent the standard housing although they now think mine might be from an SV which they are sending today. Any further thoughts??

Graham Howard Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Hi Roger I can't see why there should be any diffefence with an SV, its the same engine. The pipes come off a sandwich plate with attaches to the standard oil filter housing. You probably need to check which part is cracked, the housing or the sandwich plate. Good luck with this, hope to see you on Saturday. Graham ( it might be worth posting in tech talk, more people will read it there) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stationary M25 Traveller Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 SV definitely the same housing and sandwich plate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Durrant Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Roger Where is the oil leaking from and where is the split on the housing. I have seen oil leaks from the oil pressure switch which screws into the filter housing as usually the Apollo pipes do not leak once fitted.

Roger Cumming Posted February 12, 2014 Author Share Posted February 12, 2014 Thanks guy's I will check. I think the housing is cracked so if I can simply separate the plate that will be easier. Hope to see you Saturday Graham!! Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stationary M25 Traveller Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I wonder if the central nut that holds the sandwich plate is loose, allowing oil to escape between the housing and the plate, even though the filter is tight ?

Roger Cumming Posted February 12, 2014 Author Share Posted February 12, 2014 I think it is fractured where the sender screws in. The top of the unit appears dry. I will reveal all when I get it off. Thanks Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon.Rogers1 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Hmmm - I wonder what could possibly have caused that to happen 😔 There have been lots of opportunities 😳 I have lots of spares here including a brand new water pump but not an oil filter housing. Sorry Roger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Cumming Posted February 13, 2014 Author Share Posted February 13, 2014 Ooooh Simon what are you suggesting. Alright I know the old thing has had a few bashes and biffs 😬 😬 😬 The sender was tight to unscrew and I keep forgetting my car is now 16years old so I suspect the metal decided it had had enough. But picking up on Mark and others comments above the Apollo flow and returns connect to a plate that fixes to the top of a standard filter housing. So that should separate from the housing without having to disturb the Apollo connections. If that happens it makes it a whole lot easier. However I haven't actually noticed the fixing nut for the plate. When I last looked it all seemed part of the same unit which is why I was whinging about getting it off. I am getting serious tonight!! Thanks all Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Durrant Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Roger Remove the oil filter from the housing and you will find the thread which the oil filter screws onto has a hex by the sandwich plate. Use a spanner to unscrew and the sandwich plate is released. Remove the oil filter housing from the engine and refit with a new gasket. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
