?Oil filter adapter plate fitting gaskets?
The oil filter adapter plate gasket set comes with 1 large round fiber gasket for the plate and 2 round gaskets for the 3/4-16 fitting. ( one large cork type and one thin fiber) My after market MOPAR SB engine assemble book shows the rebuilder NOT using the small round gaskets on the fitting. ( see photo) He just uses Loctite on the threads and torques to 30ft/lbs. Now I've installed all three on my engine and torqued the fitting to 30ft lbs. The plate leaks from the large gasket to the block. If I don't use the small gaskets on the fitting the plate doesn't leak. Does the thick cork go behind the fitting to the block face?
Thanks! Mike
