Third times the charm for me. First had to short a threaded section of the
nipple that mounts the filter. Second had really bad machining on the
engine/filterhead inner mating surface.Inner o-ring useless in that a
portion of outer lip of ring groove milled paper thin collapsed upon
securing unit to block.
The new one looks to be completely reworked... no longer an o-ring in the
inner mating surface but a circular flat washer about 1/2" in width. You
should try to determine just where yours is leaking from and then why if
possible. I demonstrated to Moss clearly just what the issue was for each of
he defective units. I think Moss is pretty sensitized to this issue as a
result of recent discussion on this list and you likely won't have a problem
with getting a replacement. They do listen and respond.

Did someone post the other day about a faulty batch of spin on filter
adapters from Moss, or was that just a dream? Mine has leaked since day one,
and still does even after replacing the rubber gasket, filter type etc. Any
ideas? Thanks.
