The large bolt that is supplied with the inline/canton sandwich adapter is to long IMHO. When assembling my motor on the bench I torqued the adapter down and noticed that I could rotate the adapter without much force. Increasing the torque did not stop the adapter from rotating. I removed the bolt and cut off approximately 1/8" and reinstalled, end of problem.

 

Yeah, it looks like that's probably what I'm going to do... hopefully this resolves the issue because it's clearly too long.

 

+1. What I'm looking for. Don't need any extra hassle.

 

When installing the adapters, did you use oil on the o-rings. 1 of the o-rings in the adapter (there are 2) may have gotten damaged when originally put on and now everytime you try something it still the same. Speaking from experieince, when i originally rec'v my piece directly from CANTON 1 of the o-rings had a slight tear in it due to the dry assembly of the unit when packaged. Just my .02 so i would look there first. The o-rings are the same size as Aftermarket Honda B-series Cam Seals.

 

Well I cut the banjo bolt and it seems to have stopped leaking from there, the feed and drain lines at the oil filter are another story. Still leaking. I guess I'll try the Teflon paste as the tape doesn't seem to work too great.

 

My past experiences with teflon tape is mixed. For quite a while I've been using Megalock a plumbing pipe dope that's used on water, gas, oil connections. Haven't had a problem, it works, it's cheap and a container will last forever.

 

If megalock doesn't work, which it should, you could use leak lock which is a blue paste that hardens after it dries.

 

Yeah right now I'm trying Rector Seal... it's supposed to be some strong stuff. It's also a plumbers dope, and it's fortified with Teflon so we shall see how this works. I'll report back...

 

I don't really like teflon tape either.

I use high-temp waterproof silicone for all of my water sealing needs (and locking down bolts).

 

Words cannot describe how much truth is in this statement.
