Replacing Gaskets on 90 degree oil filter adapter

junkyardhero said
i generally use a little hi-tack to stick the housing gasket on the block, but other than that everything goes together dry.

the fel-pro kit used to come with a call out for the torque on it at 40 ft/lb, i believe the FSM calls 50 on it.

personally i'd sit it at 40~45

mark a line on the housing and block so that you can easily line up the housing in the same spot on reassembly

Thanks. I believe youre correct about the torque. I have one of those click style torque wrenches. Definetly dont want to ruined the bolt like the other guy mentioned. I was thinking the same thing about the large gasket. I wasn't sure if there was a recess in the side of the block where that gasket would go or if it needed to be held up with gasket cinch or something
