It is tight but can be done with the engine in place.

 Did people make the conversion to the spin on type oil filter while  =

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 =

bolt before submerging it into the aluminum filter head.
