Tips on Installing New Oil Filter Housing

Don't ask me how because I don't know how I cracked the oil filter housing , i did just recently install the new FP oil line. When I started her up oil was flowing thru a crack that wasn't there before, just below where the new oil line is connected.

I now need to replace it.

Is there any pointers that I should be aware of when doing this?

Thanks for any positive tips.

I would guess that you either overtightened something or were too rough removing/installing the housing.

I've never replaced a filter housing, but my advice would be to find out the torque specs.

I agree something went wrong with the install, any pointers?
When I ordered the new housing it dn't say anything about a gasket, is that also needed?
I'll search for tq specs thanks.

What else should I do, don't want to **** my **** up anymore.

Thanks
