Hopefully someone can help me,
Messed up badly, was doing an oil/filter change and when putting the filter housing I put a large hairline crack at the front.
Is their anyway to repair it?
- do I have to buy a second hand replacement housing?
- I have seen a few fzr Oil Filter Housing for sale will all models fit?
Thank you for help in advance
Oil Filter Housing
If I was you I'd by a second hand one off ebay. You'll want one for your model of course and I wouldn't trust getting the cracked one mended. Don't worry I've done the very same myself and when you hear it go crack your heart sinks.

Bit of advice. Buy a good bed and a good pair of shoes, because if you aren't in one you'll be in the other.
Hello again Dave, Sorry to hear of your misfortune. You did have the locating knob in the slot correct ? Having worked with O rings for breathing apparatus, torque is life savingly important. Too little or too much is disastrous. O rings only work under the correct compression, they kind of "Lift" themselves into position. Too little and they extrude, too much and they deform usually permanently.
No doubt you now know that way too much torque, means the bell housing is toast. Haynes will list the torque spec and did you have the washer on the filter as these can stick and end up in the bin with the filter attached. OGRI.
