Yeah basic stuff I know but changing the oil filter on the st. When fitting do the rubber ends on the filter get compressed when tightening up. As the new filter I am fitting is one piece and the old one was a two piece one and it seems a tad too long. Cheers in advance

With Oil cooler or without ?
OX35(Straight) and OX37(Bendy) are without and can be interchanged IF I recall correctly
OX 36 (Bendy) is with oil cooler and is a fair bit longer

Thank you. no oil cooler, I have the right filter, will have another look later. the one i was fitting was making the cover not sit flush on the engine.
Did you get both rubber end gaskets?
Check in the filter tube at the spigot shaft and see if there is still one on there
Yes but will check in case there is an extra one. Which judging by what I have found so far would not surprise me. Thank you again.
This maybe of use - http://www.largiader.com/tech/filters
anyone changing filters on airheads needs to read and understand this.
I meant is it possible one is still in the filter tube
Read the largiader article on this and properly measure the depth of the canister otherwise you risk engine damage. IT’S IMPORTANT!
All done thank you
