Oil Filter Adapter Question
This part is missing on my 383 project engine:
While I have one on order, I cannot find any illustration/exploded view of it's assembly. My question is; Is there any gasket between this part and the engine block to which it is mounted on?
Thanks in advance.

The bypass works on a differential pressure. It will bypass if the pressure on the inlet and outlet of the filter are too different. Higher oil pressure should not affect it. It's designed to bypass if the filter is plugged or the oil is too cold to flow through at the rate the oil pump is pushing it.
