Yes, the filter housing has a rubber seal. The oil hose we are using has a clearance of 200psi. Were just using this set up to start / run the engine, monitor oil pressure and check the filter housing to lid seal for leaks. Iam not using the car for any racing, just ordinary frequent driving.
If everything is in order we convert to push locks, any doubts i will get the Hildebrandt with push lock set up.
Thanks for the input.
