Default replacing the oil casing

I need a new oil flamer where the oil filters thru I guess thats the right name for it. I was told to get a oil casing kit with the hoses,and gaskets. I was told that I could just take the filter thing off that has all the little holes in it so the oil could flow better.
So what would be the best thing to do and what problems could the oil casing cause if its bad. Cause the cam seal blew out twice and the oil leaked out. So replacing the oil casing could stop my cam seal from blowing out.

It sounds like you are talking about the flame trap. But first, what model and year are you talking about? If it is the flame trap on a redblock (240-740-940), it is less than $5 for a new one, or you can clean the existing one with some throttle body cleaner spray in a few minutes. You'll just get your hands dirty, no tools needed.
