It is tight but can be done with the engine in place.

Ah, this is one change I made immediately during my restoration. Having =

cartridge type filter again, so I installed a canister conversion. See =

but if the goal is daily driving and frequent oil changes, it's a whole =

I am wanting to replace the old filter in my TR3 (engine is mostly TR4 =
parts) that has a Tecalemit type oil filter canister and mount. It =
seems that after I attach the brass nut, It will pull the apparatus =
(adapter, brass nut, oil filter and canister and seal) up tight using =
the 6" bolt. The brass nut sinks into the aluminum adapter head.=20
When the engine was out of the car, the engine mechanic applied a =
thin film of dark orange permatex(?) to the brass nut before submerging =
it into the aluminum adapter. It did not seem to leak. My question is: =
now that the engine is in the car and I have very little clearance both =
from above or below. Is it ok to squeeze out a quarter of a tube of a =
similar sealant (probably from above the engine) in an effort to =
replicate his success? I quess I'd want to smear it all over the brass =
bolt before submerging it into the aluminum filter head.
