Chuck,
The ones I heard about were the Gano filters and the problem was when tightening them enough to keep from leaking the plastic would crack. Never used a filter myself so all is hearsay.

Dear Forest,


          Regarding the allegations of failed plastic coolant system 
filter housings, do you know if they relate to the Tefba filters?  I 
have them in both Panteras for about fifteen years without problems.


                    Curious,  Chuck Engles
