Hi , does anyone know the size of the oil filter rubber gasket? I have 2 different thicknesses, not sure which one to use.

Thanks

Hi Steve, thanks for your reply, have tried the thinner of the 2 which fits best, but it still leaks, perhaps I have over tightened the bolt?

Did you replace the felt and rubber washers on the canister?
