Shoe Box Oil Filter Gasket
I have two of the by-pass units I'm going to be using. One is held to engine via the head bolts ('49?), the other uses three 3/8-16 bolts that bolt to later heads with tapped holes.
While cleaning them up I noticed that the bolts, that hold the top on, have two different type gaskets. One has a mushed up fiber or plastic gasket, (orange), the other has a thin sheet metal gasket. My past experience has seen a copper gasket used on fasteners of this type. What is right or what has anyone used that works? Thanks, Howard |

Re: Shoe Box Oil Filter Gasket
All of the ones that I have use a hard fiber(paper) gasket on the center cover bolt. It really doesn't make much difference what material it is made of so long as it doesn't crush and it seals.
