Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of odd-numbered engines, and specifically to a tool for preventing errors in the installation of oil filter housings. Background Technology

[0002] Installing the engine oil filter holder in the wrong direction will cause the filter to flow in the opposite direction, resulting in the filter paper being quickly clogged and the bypass valve failing to open. This can lead to insufficient engine oil and cause friction pair failures, such as cylinder bore scoring, or scoring of the main bearings, connecting rod bearings, etc. In severe cases, it can cause crankshaft, connecting rod, camshaft seizure, breakage, etc. In addition, the quality problem of the oil filter holder being installed backwards cannot be identified during the start-up test and the factory photo error prevention inspection. It requires personnel to check at each level during the installation process, which poses a quality risk and is also inefficient.
