while installing my ac auto tech oil adapter on the oil filter union adapter part
while screwing it in(the female adapter) from the looks of it it bit a few threads (male of the oil filter union on the block) and i did torque it down to 22-LBF
it just doesn't quite look right to me
any advice would be greatly appreciated

Any pics? I'm not up to par on the info for the ac auto tech stuff.
thats one i thing i lack right now,
but its all buttioned up well under the hood at least i have not started it yet due to that fear of not oil filter union adapter not being long enough!!! :nails: :?
i think i'm gonna call 'em tomorrow
i hate all the time zones B.S.!!! its 2 or 3 pm here and 10-11 over there :roll: that part really blows chunks huges ones at that, i don't wanna wait cause i want to drive my car and not my dads 1980 dodge ram D100 custom with a 400BB 4bbl carb and a 3.55:1 rear end and 727 auto trans :D with no radio

What does not look right? I did mine last week the same way you did, and I thought it seemed a little loose, but I have driven over 500 miles since I installed it and have not leaked one drop.
i know its not loose i do have it torqued down to 22-LBF
i'm just complaining about that the oil filter union adapter didn't / don't have enough threads around the oil filter union on the block

within 30 secs u would see a oil leak or not , but only 30 secs and u cannot harm the engine as long as you start with oil .
ok ok ok ok ok
so i took my oil block adapter off and on the union adapter part it is threading only 3 (yes i can count lol) threads on the oil filter union
so i went to 2 NPT stores in town and didn't have any thing i was wanting/looking for :roll:
and i did call ac auto tech and scionsport.com
they said try it
ugh i'm gonna say fuitz it with the oil block adapter and oil pressure gauge and find me a vaccum gauge :roll:
