Oil Filter Adaptor Gasket - sealant?
I've finally tired of the oil leak onto my garage floor from the oil filter adaptor , and ordered a new gasket (Felpro 70801). Does this gasket need any kind of sealer? Also, does anyone know what the torque specs are for the adaptor bolts?

Re: Oil Filter Adaptor Gasket - sealant?
shoudnt need any sealer, just double check the gasket against both the block and the adapter as it seems some part sytems have their numbers mixed up and the coolant port is the wrong shape/size in the case

18 ft lbs no sealant. Like DSG stated make sure you have the right gasket. Mine is BLUE!

70801 is the correct gasket. Don't let the auto parts store tell you its not. They all list the incorrect part number.
No sealer needed. |

Re: Oil Filter Adaptor Gasket - sealant?
Mine is leaking and I looked up under the car to see how bad the job will be yesterday. I can only see 3 bolts. So I have a couple of questions:
1) Did you guys have to remove any other engine accessories to make room to remove the oil filter adapter? Or will it come out without moving anything else? 2) Has anybody had success crimping off the radiator hose so that you don't lose as much coolant and don't need as much to refill the radiator? 3) When you refill the coolant, what is the proper method? I've seen it done totally through the reservoir, and I've also seen it done through the intake crossover.
