my oil filter adapter keeps leaking even after i re-sealed it twice, i used silicone, idk if theres anything else i can use, an no it doesnt have an o-ring, theres no slot for one, i was thinking about machining one in? ---

That area your sealing is under quite some pressure, for the time being as a temp solution maybe using an old oil filter seal will work if you can keep it centered while you tighten. Just an idea. ---

What devo said is best for now i would maybe machine a groove to insure a centered seal ---

yeah ill just machine a groove into it on a lathe for an o ring, do i need to machine a groove into the block or is it okay if i just do it on the filter, plus i dont know how you would machine it into the block 😛 ---

Aftermarket kits only machine the edge for the O-ring on the attaching piece going onto the block. Machining both sides may not squish the O-ring enough to make a tight seal or tear the O ring while tightening it down. ---
