You know what.
You guys are not as sharp as you used to be.
I'm surprised that nobody didn't correct me, because it ain't a goddam nut................it's a friggin' bolt.

Joe:

We KNEW what you meant, and decided to cut you some slack this time.

Won't happen again.

Joe,

Notice that I did capitalize BOLT on my first response to this thread.

Just trying to ease it to you!

Re: Oil Filter Canister Nut

Don't forget the engines were started on natural gas at Flint and Tonawanda after they were assembled. That means they had to have oil and something in place for the oil canister.

JR -

The hot-test stands at Flint and Tonawanda used a plug/bypass device on the oil filter mounting boss, and used a circulating system of highly-filtered oil for oil fill, which was then drained back into the system after the engine's 30-second or so run time.

Engines left Flint and Tonawanda dry, and both the oil and the oil filter were added at St. Louis.

John,

That must have been the something in place for the oil canister, huh!
