mike mcs repair Registered User chugiak AK Nov 25, 2020 #2 no.... but it MUST screw into the CORRECT adaptor... there is another SIMILAR looking adaptor it WILL screw into, and NOT BE ABLE TO SEAL AGAINST... that angled part, just to the left of your arrow is the sealing surface....

sdischer ATP, CFII, A&P MEMBER COLLEGE STATION, TX Nov 25, 2020 #3 Ok thanks. It is the right adapter and it seals but I cleaned the oil screen today and for the first time I noticed that groove on bulb and thought, hmm, I wonder if that is supposed to have an O'ring? Thanks again and happy thanksgiving. Last edited: Nov 25, 2020

T tempdoug PATRON nd Nov 25, 2020 #4 like mike says 2 types, square and tapered.no copper gasket, oring or anything used.
