Congratulation on the successful engine rebuild! Regarding the oil line flow,
make sure you have the two different-sized copper (brass?) washers correctly
installed on the filter body. I "think" the larger one goes on the bottom (to
allow oil to flow to the tube) and the small one on the top to seal the mess.
Be sure to use the cap-nut to avoid leaks. Otherwise the tube may be plugged.
There's gotta be a better way...
