Thread: Oil Filter Rod - is there a seal between the external nut and the filter body?

Arrows show rubber seals.
.W.

Thanks BSF,
That is a big help.
I have discovered one of my problems, is the the large centre tube is slightly bent at the thread end, making it difficult to get a good seal.
So I either need to replace the central tube OR find a Spin -on- Filter Adaptor to suit my 2 litre Spread bore engine.

Can anyone tell me where either of these items may be sourced?

Many thanks

Or you could straighten your centre tube.
It might break, depending how bent it is, but worth a try.
Problem will be you need something with the same thread mounted in a vice so you can screw the tube into it.

Googling should throw up spin-on adaptors, there are a few UK companies that used to supply them.
Plenty for the 2.25 motor e.g. Adaptor - Oil Filter Housing (FF005156) for 2.25 Petrol Engine Land Rover Series IIA/III
Not sure if it's exactly the same on the 2.0 litre.
