GunMetalGrey Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 As promised!So that last picture is what he sent me after he got it back, I am actually not sure if it was like that before or not. He had drilled those holes way out and there was almost no material left in there lol. So there it is folks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunMetalGrey Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 Back story is that I was interested in the oil filter housing he posted. I told him I would do cash and a stock one. When I got his I knew it wasn't right and wanted to send it back to him. So I wasn't going to send him the one that was part of the deal, as I wanted to reverse the deal. No replies are missing from me, that's just how he sent it lol, check the timestamps on each post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B C Posted February 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 You conducted yourself in a calm mature manner and out of nowhere he hits a menstrual cycle and crosses the line. Sorry you had to deal with such a jerk. Kudos for not going on the attack/defense like he did Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoungCR Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 I thought him just blowing up over nothing was funny but then the ginger red e30 driving asshole comments came in lmfao. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClassE Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 I can practically hear the conversation now between him and a buddy:"So he wants a refund for it now?""Yeah""Well did you say it was gonna come with the thermostat?""Not really""Then tell him to piss off, screw him!"Sucks that he's being an asshole tho.

GunMetalGrey Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 The whole thermostat thing wouldn't have been a huge deal expect for the fact that you cannot get just a thermostat. The OEM part number is for the assembly, including a thermostat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 I wonder where the thermostat went from when he removed it from his car lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyhundley Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 I think the correct terminology is a check valve. It's holds oil in the filter housing to prevent a dry start. A coworker recalls buying them online somewhere for like $5 but doesn't remember where. It looks like you are missing some material there. What motor is this off of? The housing I posted is from a M54 for reference. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HipMF Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 You should have sent the money as a gift like he asked. Seems like a trustworthy fella. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunMetalGrey Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 The housing is from an S52 Euro, or S54 as they both use the same housing and a factory oil cooler.It is not a check valve, it is a thermostat. It lets ~10% of the oil past it when the oil is not at temp. and once the oil gets to temp it opens the thermostat and diverts ~90% of the oil through the cooler. The check valve for these is right under the actual filter. Edit: is that a picture of the block? M54's don't have metal OFH's to the best of my knowledge. I have only seen plastic ones on them.

Doorman Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 What prompted the switch?Sent from my potato phoneA good majority of the work I do in the door industry would be considered ironworkers work. Rolling doors, high speed doors, fabricating, dock equiptment, etc. The carpenters and ironworkers unions both recognize that there aren't enough of either to do all the work. "Composite crews" (one of each) are allowed. Hiring guys out of the union halls can be hit or miss when it comes to door experience....more miss honestly. With me having 20yrs experience and approx 20 more years to work it makes good sense to switch and be a "company" iromworker. Hope this makes sense.
