skip Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Gday everyone. Im getting my flinstone ready to go to the paint shop and making sure everything is its right place on the chassis so I dont have to fit anything to it after its been painted. It has the 864 V8 engine, with a single cannister type oil filter mounted behind the cab on the exhaust stack gantry. I think its an LF667 from memory. Does this have to mounted on the chassis as opposed to a bit higher on the gantry? Will it have the problem of oil running back into the sump and overfilling it, and then taking longer to build up oil pressue? It is mounted neatly and i will use it if its ok to do so. Thanks everyone, Skip Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/12399-old-r600-oil-filter/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
HK Trucking Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 There's a check valve in there to prevent drainback, however I have seen cases where the check valve would stick open and allow the oil to drain back to the pan when shut down.
