In this article we will look in detail at how to assemble an oil filter with a spacer
Full-flow oil filter with replaceable filter element “Regotmas 440A-1-06”
The filter element must be replaced every time the engine oil is changed
We will omit disassembling the filter in this article, since there is practically nothing complicated.
Use your hands or a wrench to unscrew the top part and remove the filter element
Then unscrew the connecting fitting and remove the spacer.
We wash all parts except the paper element (the paper element is disposed of).
Install a spring on the central rod of the upper filter cap
Install a support washer on the rod and spring
- install the rubber sealing ring with the convex part up
Insert the paper filter element
- insert a rubber gasket into the lower part of the filter housing
- insert the rubber o-ring
- install the lower cap, put on the washer, and tighten the nut, pressing the lower part of the filter with your hand
If you removed the filter spacer (usually this is done during engine repair or complete disassembly of the filter), install the gasket
Install the rubber ring from the repair kit onto the connecting fitting
Of course, it is better to cut a ring from a piece of leather using a die cutter (a reliable old-fashioned method that reduces the possibility of leaks in this connection)
We install a paranitic gasket on the flange of the inlet pipe
Install the filter spacer on the intake manifold and attach the connecting fitting without tightening
Connect the oil drain pipe to the filter spacer, then tighten the connecting fitting
Lubricate the O-ring with engine oil
Install the filter itself and tighten it by hand until the gasket begins to compress and turn it 0.5±1 turn.
When installing gaskets, lubricate with a thin layer of engine oil
Do not unscrew or tighten the nipple nuts of the filter tubes together with the adapter fitting. In this case, it is necessary to first fix the fitting with a key
The filter element must be replaced immediately when a characteristic whistle appears from the operation of the bypass valve in the spacer when the engine is running
You cannot use filter elements from a Kamaz vehicle, since due to their high height they rest against the upper part of the filter housing and do not allow oil to pass through
