Hi, thankyou so much for your help, I had an inkling that somehow item 2 held it together, but was unsure.
Thanks once again and will order a new o ring as well.
Regards Steve.
Hi, I have a 1990 RRC with the 2.5td vm engine. The problem is that it has an oil leak between the oil filter housing and the engine block.
I removed the oil filter today and tried to remove the housing but couldn't. I couldn't see how its fixed to the block and didn't want to force and damage anything.
How does it separate and is there a gasket between the housing and block?
Thanks for any suggestions.
