You ever have an Oil filter gasket blow out ?

[markwnc]

After it blowed out it immediatly emptied all the oil out and shut the engine off.
I removed the filter and the DOUBLE gasket, put on a new filter and filled with oil.
When I started the engine it has a slightly noticable whine like timing gears or chain maybe.
I was traveling and have drove the truck about 600 miles thus far.
This is a 2005 v6 .

You guys ever have this happen to you or ever hear of someone that
this has hppened to?

I was wondering if this will effect my engine in a bad way and if it will
what do I need to do about it?

Thanks from the newbie in advance.

Did you notice it blew out before or after you lost all of your oil? How long did you run your motor without oil?

I removed the filter and the DOUBLE gasket

that should be why it blew out, last time it was changed the o ring stayed on the engine so two 0 rings?

just my guess

Did this once on a Bronco II I had. Second time I'd ever done an oil change. I didn't notice that the gasket from the old filter was still on the engine. When I started the engine oil sprayed everywhere and sounded weird. I shut off the engine after maybe 30 seconds?. I pretty much did the whole oil change over. Didn't have any long term affects that I know of. I had the Bronco another five years or so with no engine problems. It took a little while for the oil to burn off the engine though.....

I'd say if you didn't drive it or only let it run for a few seconds then it's probably ok.

Excactily!
I had this same thing happen to me in my old truck. The gasket from the previous filter remained in place, and I installed a new filter not paying enough attention. FORTUNATELY, I noticed it leaking when warming the engine and doing some other work on it.

OP, You should be OK as long as it wasnt driven with no oil.

It was obvious when it happened it made a loud spraying noise and smoke came out from under the hood then the engine shut off.
I put it in neutral and coasted to a safe spot to the side of the road.
I just bought this truck used about three months ago and dont drive it much
maybe once a week then started on a trip and this happened.
So the oil filter change was done by someone else before the puchase.
I had to drive a screwdriver through the filter to get it off.
It pretty much destroyed the filter but when I got it off I noticed the extra gasket
on the filter mount and I had to cut it with my pocket knife to get it off.

I just need to know if the whining is something to be worried about.

i imagine oil sprayed allover everything so wonder if that might be the cause of the wining?
fan belts, vacuum lines and all other parts that move or suck air?

how many miles are on it?
