Pete M Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 If you're talking about the oil filter mount, there are some O-rings that seal the mount to the block. I haven't done it yet (someday I'll get around to it), but I think it's just a matter of undoing a bolt and replacing the O-rings inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87manche Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 http://madxj.com/MADXJ/technical/techni ... ersion.htm that's about adapting a newer style to the older block, so it doesn't really apply, but a lot of good information about removing it and reinstalling it. Hell, might as well upgrade it while you're in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87manche Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 did you lightly coat the o-rings with oil before you reinstalled them? Did you tighten the bolt to spec with a torque wrench? Did you clean the mating surfaces? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
500 MJ Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 I did this on my XJ right before I sold it. I got the three O-rings I needed from Carquest. I just took the deal in there and we found the ones that fit around each one. A total of $1.37 in all and my problems were solved! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
