rs 500 oil filter blew almost up
Help help help,
I have just re serviced my cossie, we first had a problem with a seized oil pump and it broke the AUX drive gear and distributor gear, so we change it all up and yesterday started the engine, all was fine. Today went to set it up and after 4 seconds running the oil filter puffed up and spat oil all over, we changed the filter as had a doubt that maybe it was not on tight but then and again it puffed and oil was everywhere. This is making me go crazy, brand new cosworth racing high pressure pump so we are fazed what is going on, can anyone help ?
Thank you.

Well this is the second Cosworth racing pump , first was stiff and broke aux gear and dist. Gea now this has a Stück valve, no i think best is to Get in Touch with Cosworth, with the money i could have bought a dry sump. The thing is there are not any high quality pumps to buy.

You can use a 4x4 pump in an RS500 if you can find an original new one rather than these re manufactured ones with known problems.
I have a brand new original RS500 one in my spares, they do come up for sale every now and again as old stock items. I wont part with it sorry just in case I need one myself in the future.
A relief valve spring and cap kit is only Ł10 or so and simple to change but you should not need to do that really on a brand new item, but maybe its the only way you are going to get one that works, especially given how far away you are.

sorry to ask again but is this really a genuine one from the ford dealer?
words like high pressure and racing pump reminds me of aftermarket ones.
Even the cosworth aftermarket ones are not the same as the genuine ones in the past ex factory, if I'm informed correctly. But don't know if these have the "YB0852" label originally.
