New Oil Filter Adapter threads not long enough
I've been dealing with an irritating oil leak coming from my oil filter adapter since I got my vehicle. I decided for the time being to replace the oil filter adapter that was on it, one with lines for an oil cooler, with one that just takes the oil filter. I got the Melling MFA350 part from O'Reilly's, and just bolted it on. The problem I have is that the threads for the oil filter are not deep enough to allow me to put the oil filter on enough to seal against the block. I'm getting some leaking down the oil filter. I'm really not sure what to do about this one. Everything I can think to do is halfassed and probably not a good idea. Any suggestions?
