No, you must have me confused with my evil twin.  ;-)
I did the engine myself.  I left the oil filter pad alone.  It was a
J-SPEC engine and really didn't need much.  I did the mods recommended
by Tracy as well as installing TES o-rings throughout.  I didn't go with
high-compression rotors as I had planned on turbo-charging... since
changed my mind on that.   =20

Mark,

   Didn't you say your engine was built by Bruce (Turrentine)?  Doesn't
that mean that you no longer have=20
the factorY oil filter adapter pad atop the rear housing?
