canton filter
Hey stownsen914,
Yep, engine is dead, sitting in my shop waiting to be opened to assess damage.
I had contacted Canton to discuss my experience with their product and they of course denied any product malfunction.
I explained that the end caps were not sealing and even proposed a simple fix of bedding the ends in a pool of sealant instead of the hit and miss of silicone from a caulking gun.
I did this myself with a spare filter by filling the end caps with liquid metal and then flipping it over and filling the other end after it set.
After a short run of maybe 100 miles (on a new used 3.2 engine) I checked the filter.
End cap seals intact but filter buckled and collapsed! so apparently the filter needs the leaking end caps to maintain flow!
