Re: Oil filter adapter leak at engine
So it turns out the gasket/o-ring kit from Dorman just doesn't work. I bought a Felpro set and did some measuring and with the specs from the Dorman kit, it's plain to see that it would never work. The steel gasket is too thick and the o-ring too thin. I put the Felpro kit on and torqued to spec and success. Felpro from now on. It also only comes with what you need, not multiple o-rings that are close to the same size to confuse you. Luckily the store took back the Dorman.

Re: Oil filter adapter leak at engine
Thanks. Of course, the lesson here is to stay away from Dorman when possible.

Re: Oil filter adapter leak at engine
these things can happen with the Chinese crap being made. the store took care of it and with your feed back, this will help others , with these leak issues in this area.. I stated before that many had problems with the repair of these leaks.
