HELP PLEASE snapped the thread that hold the oil filter on OMG HELP

[polishprince]

So quick and dirty...I had the oil drained...was trying to unscrew the oil filter when the thread the the oil filter screws into snapped off.
(right at the top too so the new oil filter had NOTHING to screw into...i do have the piece fyi)

so obviously there is a hole in the engine hrmmm...stupid me figured id JB epoxy weld the thread in place...then 24 hrs later i figured i'd gently screw the new filter on and put epoxy all around the rim and seal it. (car had 300,000km figured it was the last oil change/winter use for the car)
epoxied the hell out of the rim..

well i started the car and blam...shot off and oil EVERYWHERE...

here's the problem...do i have to take it in a shop to get it tapped///threaded and new pipe put on etc etc etc..which is a bit much for me to try...i think..anyone do this kinda thing?!..

or CAN i plug the hole with like a bunch of PL premium or SOMETHING to just not use a filter....is that even possible...
might be dumb..kinda need/want the car until april..then ill buy a new truck but cant afford it at all right now....HELP please tips PLEASE

thank you

Do not ever think again about running the oil without any filter. That would be a very good way to cause much larger, catastrophic damage to your engine, even considering you don't plan on keeping the car past April.

Tow it to the dealer, let them sort it out. Hopefully can just replace the housing.

You need a new filter housing simple as that. Unless you want to buy a new car or engine.

either replace the oil filter mount yourself or tow the car to a shop and let them take care of it
if you decide to DIY, make sure you are gentle with those 4 bolts as they're tiny and fine threads... you DON'T want to snap those off!

[TheMAN]

and if you have a 2.3 and don't have a spin on oil filter now, it is a good opportunity to convert as it's so much better!

[polishprince]

I did not know this part was a bolt on...thought it was part of the engine body..didn't catch that...

ok can anyone help me find out the price of this part...at least a CLOSE range within $20-30?! i know places vary just want to know whether it is a $100 or $350 part... PLEASE anyone?!

[TheMAN]

1F20-14-302B is the part number for the filter mount... it's probably around 50 bucks
you will need a gasket also... that's LF01-14-342

you can buy the parts from a ford dealer also, for a 2nd gen focus duratec 2.0

thank you for all the responses. all informed and dealing with it now thank you

You should just run it without the filter. For reals. Then the oil can flow easier!
