AarhusTr6 Posted February 25, 2023 Report Share Posted February 25, 2023 (edited) So, after an almost rebuilt, I start the engine and good news and bad news It started, but absolutely peed oil out of this spin on oil filter and I was wondering if anybody has recently removed or fitted one of these and what gasket was used? I enclose pictures for clarity. richard Edited February 25, 2023 by AarhusTr6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It ipissed oil from day one the only way I stopped that was to turn 0.030" off the center boss inside the take off part so that the outer rubber ring got more compressed in the block. I never had any more oil leaks. Still in use today! Bruce. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mike C Posted February 25, 2023 Report Share Posted February 25, 2023 Make sure that you have only one gasket fitted and tighten the centre bolt as much as you dare. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
