I went to this shop to have them install new gauges in my 1969 VW Karmann Ghia, part of this work involved installing an oil temperature sensor in the external oil filter assembly. In order to do this they had to remove the oil filter assembly and oil filter in order to change-out a 90-degree elbow for a Tee fitting. Shortly after picking up the car, the oil was ejected from the engine causing massive damage to the new engine. Examination found that the oil filter was not properly tightened and at higher rpm's the oil pressure was high enough to blow-out the oil filter gasket, which could only have happened on account of the oil filter not being installed tight enough; whoever last installed the oil filter had not tightened it properly!
