Default Re: serpentine belt replacement

[quote=onehundred80]Your original statement referred to over tightening and thus moving the O-ring, it did not mention stripping the thread by over tightening.
[quote=sq89]..................... Make sure that cap is tight for next time, BUT not TOO tight otherwise it will cause the Oring on the oil filter to move out of place leaving you with another similar situation.

The O-rings sit in grooves not on notches and no apprehension is needed when tightening with the suggested torque. I do understand that you may refer to grooves as notches though.



Since its a common problem among crossfire owners, I thought it could use some clarification. But, thanks for your help.
