Well after getting past countless obstacles to complete my Rangers 5.0 Swap, the Advance Adapters Remote Oil Filter Adapter (the part that threads onto the block) won't stop leaking, and has pretty much killed my build. I've tried everything with no success.
The o ring seal that came with it didn't even fit inside the groove (too big) and pinched/leaked like hell every single time. After that I tried ultra black rtv alone, allowing it to dry and then squashing it down to create a gasket. This worked for about 15 miles and then it started leaking again, enough to make it undriveable again. Each time to remove the Adapter piece and redo the seal I've been pulling the motor.
I recently learned that I can just remove the motor accessories/steering box and have the clearance to remove it, which has helped, but this is really getting old and killing my morale. To the point that I wanna delete the power steering just so I can screw a damn oil filter onto the motor...This has all but killed my build, and Idk what else to do. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
