Dang.. too tight.. I'm an idiot

[vstrom]

So.. Finally got my fixed alternator and I'm finally home.. time to put it all together!

It works! Everything is great.. but I better get underneath and check it all out. Huh.. the oil pressure sender seems to leak abit.. why don't I just tighten that up?

*snap*

uh-oh. It cracked that whole oil assembly (can't think what to call it) that has the oil filter and various oil lines coming off of it.

So, uh, where would I get a new one? I'm thinking this would be a pretty hard piece to get.. I'll probably try JB welding the sucker back together until I can find someone with a parts machine.

I'll get a picture in a bit and post it so that no one else does what I did.

Edit...
The piece I broke is called the oil filter bracket.. just found it in the parts diagram. Who has one for sale?

I love me my JB weld....but I would not weld that!!!

If it fails you could lose all the engine oil and toast the motor...to risky....

Search for a used one
