so I tried again,
new gasket, lubed it, slid it down on the collar past the threads to where it bottoms out on the flange. made sure the gasket was laying snug on the collar and not trying to roll up onto the threads.
tightened to 24Nm, the gasket seemed to balloon a little, but not bad. started up and within 5 minutes, oil was leaking out of the top of the filter canister once again.
this is beyond unbelievable! This just can't be as hard as it seems. I have never encountered anything like this.
anyone have any idea?
