Right Angle Oil Filter Gasket Question

FJRdoc said

I smoothed off both gasket surfaces and cleaned them well with paint thinner. Applied high- tack adhesive to both surfaces, lined up the adapter and bolted her on. The large base gasket in my kit appeared to be thicker than a standard gasket. I guess we'll see how she holds oil when the engine gets primed.

If it's thicker and you can't see a gap, then it should be ok...

I've used the gasket that comes in the Fel-pro gasket kits from Mancini Racing for years without any problems on just the base plate (not the 90° adapter).

You should be good, just keep a good eye on it when you start it up and let it run for a while to make sure that it's not leaking. Maybe put a clean piece of cardboard on the ground under the filter when you test start it, so you can see if it drips/leaks any.
