Oil Filter Cover Gasket

[rookie06]

I have an 06' predator, i run Klotz Techniplate 4 stroke oil @ 15w/50 weight. When it idles it's fine but when you give it throtle the o-ring seal rolls over and blows oil out. Anyone have any idea why this happens.

It blows oil out of where?

[rookie06]

Oil spews out between the crank case and the cover. for some reason the o-ring seal doesnt hold.

The O-ring is to be replaced on each oil change. It is a crunch to fit once it is compressed it does not spring back.

Ok, i already replaced the gasket, and it still spews oil, but when i take the filter out it's fine. I put a new filter in and it still leaks. Any idea about that?

Could you possibly have the filter in backwards? Been awhile since I had my predator but I think it is possible and that might cause your oil to dead head in the filter housing.

I guess it's possible, I'll try switching it around and see what happens. Thanks for the info!
