Just rebuilt my 292. The engine had been (previously) changed from the canister filter to a FL1A and I replaced the o-ring on the adapter. On initial start the oil leak was severe. Traced it to the adapter and replaced the o-ring again. Torqued to the required 25 ft.lbs. Engine cranked and ran for approx. 10 minutes with no leaks. After sitting for a month, the leak is back and maybe worse. Oil pressure is normal. The only modification is from a stock 2-barrell to a Mummert aluminum 4-barrell, Edelbrock carb and added power brake booster. Otherwise, stock.
