So i went to change the oil in my 283 in my 56 chevy (not original to the truck - it was out of a 67 chevelle i believe). It has the old canister for the oil filter and the gasket was stuck way up in there, so far i couldn't get it out. It was almost as if it had creeped in behind/underneath the valve (the metal piece between the canister and the engine that has two bolts connecting it to the engine). Has this happened to anyone else? What a pain. The engine was recently rebuilt and this is my first oil change since the rebuild. Anyway, just curious if this is a common issue with those old style canisters. I'm looking to put on the spin on adapter to make this a much easier task down the road!
