Re: Warped spin-on oil filter adapter? y-block
Remove the adaptor plate and place it flat on the ground.
Chances are that it has warped slightly convex.
If you have a piece of pipe you can use it to hammer it back to the correct shape of slightly concave.
Dont be scared to beat on it as it will take some pressure to get it to bend.
This warpage happens due to the opposing tension placed on the adaptor when screwing on the oil filter.
I have even encountered brand new adaptors with this problem.
Makes a hell of a mess and pisses you off for sure. Of course make sure the rubber gasket has not been compromised.
