Broken Oil Filter Mount...?
Never dealt with anything like this, so i dont know what to do.
Trying to start up my car after an engine swap, and i cant get any oil pressure.
Checked underneath to see what was going on, and the oil filter was leaking like a screen door. I thought maybe i left the old gasket in there, but nope.....
I noticed that the part the oil filter SCREWS ON TO, is very loose. I can jiggle it around....
Is my motor f-d? or can i replace/repair this....?
I have no idea how its held there or anything, any help appreciated.
