So bought this vehicle listed above, and was given a new OPS and told that's what was causing check engine light but they didn't have time to replace. I went to replace it, and find out that whomever, had cracked the oil filter bracket by over tightening I ripped front of engine off and removed bracket, it is next to impossible to find them anymore. So welded the crack and put back in, weld is beautiful, but I believe there is a spiral leak from thread damaged when crack was made. Need a fix to seal it, at this point I don't care if fix means it can never be removed again. Just need my car back on the road. Thank you.

Here's some pictures after the weld was finished before it went back in. I'll take some of the situation now as soon as I can get outside here.

I agree. It looks like the threads are gone. There will be no re tapping of this since there is nothing to clean up.

I think you need to go to a junkyard and look for a replacement.

I would call them and ask them. I cannot find the part number for it but the motors are physically the same.
