It is vital to install the oil lines cor-
rectly. If the oil flows in the reverse direction, the by-
pass valve in the filter assembly will prevent the oil
from reaching the engine causing an internal engine
failure. If there is no oil pressure reading, shutdown
immediately and check the hose connections.
