Hi, folks--
I have a newly rebuilt 1622 engine in the MGA, and everything is working
like a charm except: I installed an aftermarket spin-on oil filter adapter
so the filters would be less of a pain in the whatsit to change. But I
discovered I was leaking oil like a sieve at one of the connections--either
between the adapter and the block or the adapter and the filter. So
everything came off and I turned the square=cross-section O-ring around and
smothered it in aircraft gasket goop and stuck it in there, bolted up the
adapter, and spun on a new filter. And damned if it isn't still
leaking--nothing like was before, but still getting a dribble. Any
suggestions, or do I just adopt the "not dripping, just marking its
territory" motto? I was hoping that, at least for a short little while, I
might have an LBC motor that actually HOLDS ITS OIL! But it looks like I'd
be better off chasing the holy grail.
