You must remove ALL the old gasket first, then replace with the new CORRECT gasket. The correct rubber gasket is 0.088" to 0.090" thick. Frequently the new filter comes with 3 different thickness gaskets. 0.088" is the right one. It is a snug fit in the groove in the oil pump, groove is 0.090" wide. But you can buy a spin-on adapter to allow use of a modern spin-on filter. The adapter screws into the back of the oil pump in place of the old cannister. Now when you change the filter, you do not disturb the seal in the oil pump. And filters are probably less expensive. And yes, I sell the adapter.

I got mine from Moss years ago, but had I known, would have gotten it from Bob. I knew there was someone who makes them on here , so waited for Bob. It has certainly made the job much easier. I don't know about a TF, but on a TD the original is so close to the body that it's very difficult to get at. The spin on eliminates that problem and also the seating problem, besides being able to just go to your local auto parts store and get one.
