Hi,

Got a problem after tightening it in to the block, i screw on the oil filter and have a gap where the gasket on filter wont reach the GE adapter. This is a Fram Filter, could it be that the filter threads are not deep enough.

Please let me know what filters u guys are using. Please help!!!thanks.

Same problem with fram filters on my gem adapter. OEM or purolator filters seems to work fine.

Fram. No problems here.

Prelude chassy's don't want to clear... you have to notch out a bit of the rear member.

It also helps to check out the oil filters available and get the shortest one. Then you need to purchase a filter wrench that is one of those ring-expansion types.

for the prelude i had to use a puralator brand. only one short enough to fit
