canister possibly deforms under high oil pressure on very cold day , or overtightening that nut — why it loses crush force imho . Maybe a thicker washer or two works .. but : Ask me how I know . .. here is how : when young, I listened to “expert” mopar mechanic ( experts rarely are ) i shimmed oil pump relief valve spring with one washer (that raises oil pressure , dontcha know). Brand new rebuild , started right up , it bent oil pressure gauge , no mufflers yet, so very loud , in dark at night , I did not see that oil pressure lifted canister up off base blew out gasket — all the oil ran out in 20 seconds . Thought it blew bearings .. but engine later went 300 k . I tried to put canister back on after pulling engine to remove the washer ( nice thing to have to do ,all due to BS ) it was deformed upwards would not seal . ? Over tightening the nut could do same thing ? . Get HH adapter get rid if it and huge mess it causes . That said, if put on right , correct torque they are ok stock , but why suffer.Note “ correct torque” I later asked him if he ever actually did put that washer in? He says no .
