Just went through this. The problem I had was the inside o-ring. It
uses the thinner o-ring. The natural thought process is the bigger
one will give a better seal but that is not the case. Check for the
bit stuck in the channels as others are describing but the o-ring was
my problem.

Subject: Original oil filter
Hi folks! Urgently need help!
Having had no luck stopping leaks from my spin-on adapter, (I think it
may be
a touch out of round), I decided to return to the original canister
for the
time being.
Here's the problem. The can and bolt are on the bench. In goes the
spring
followed by the relief valve. Then the new filter. Now comes the star
shaped
spacer. Trouble is, it looks to me like this spacer can rotate about
90
degrees, effectively preventing the flow of filtered oil back to the
engine.
Where am I going wrong? I look forward to your amused remarks, or you
could
call me at 949 858 7985.
Thanks.
