Hi , may have been overtightened at some point which dents the top of that housing inward . Torque max is for real!! I gave up on those long ago , frankly a sad joke . Yes I agree copper washer under bolt head — I think Look at Hot Heads site you can get an aluminum adapter that uses a modern mopar screw on filter ( real mopar are the best ones due to their warrantee concerns) . The 30 degree upward one has worked well for me , there are shorty filters too . good stuff , modern filters are just better .

Thanks Dave..... Im trying to go through some older threads on the Forward Look site, and saw some folks mention that. Weird, as I had never taken that bolt out of the housing, so it should still be there, but its probably im pretty sad shape.. Ill pull it and check it out and report my "findings". I think there was/is a flat copper gasket under the bolt head if memory serves me correctly. Dave Schwandt
All,
I figure you are the best to ask....
Just changed oil on my '56 Desoto (330 Hemi), and for some reason, I can not.get the top bolt on the housing, the one you tighten down to stop leaking. In the box, for the new filter, I saw where it came.with the large round gasket for the base of the housing, but nothing for the the 5/8 bolt that tightens down everything. Im not even sure how you would get a gasket, o-ring, seal etc.... around it as the bolt is held in place by a spring, and doesnt seem to come out....at least not easily.
What am I doing wrong????!!!
Thanks.
