Can someone tell me how many round plates are used on the spin-on oil filter adapter?When I tore down my motor there was the plate that the filter seals against and behind it was another smaller plate also marked "top" which I can see no purpose to.Maybe its left over from the original cannister filter.Should there just be the plate which seals against the block using the rubber "O Ring"?Thanks!

You don't need the thin plate with the spin-on. Just use the heavy plate, o-ring (or gasket) and fitting.

Thank you John.I thought there was an extra plate in it-wasn't sure.What is the correct torque for that centre bolt?
