I wonder how many people still use those.  I always thought they were =
pretty horrible to deal with.  The spin on conversion was one of the =
first things I did with my cars.

Ah, this is one change I made immediately during my restoration.  Having =
started life with my first car, a 1964 Sprite, I never wanted to touch a =
cartridge type filter again, so I installed a canister conversion.  See =
http://trf.zeni.net/TR2-TR3Handbook/7.php#navbar.  It's not original, =
but if the goal is daily driving and frequent oil changes, it's a whole =
lot cleaner.

I  am  wanting to replace the old filter in my TR3 (engine is mostly TR4 =
parts) that  has a Tecalemit  type oil filter canister and mount.  It =
seems that after I attach the brass nut, It will pull the apparatus =
(adapter, brass nut, oil filter and canister and seal) up tight using =
the 6" bolt.  The brass nut sinks into the aluminum adapter head.=20

     When the engine was out of the car, the engine mechanic applied a =
thin film of dark orange permatex(?) to the brass nut before submerging =
it into the aluminum adapter.  It did not seem to leak.  My question is: =
now that the engine is in the car and I have very little clearance both =
from above or below.  Is it ok to squeeze out a quarter of a tube of a =
similar sealant (probably from above the engine) in an effort to =
replicate his success?  I quess I'd want to smear it all over the brass =
bolt before submerging it into the aluminum filter head.
