[QUOTE="Ken Tidswell, post: 39218, member: 3355"] You are not the only sufferer from this problem, I at first thought it was the spring which had become coil bound because it was too long being a new one, there have been some cases. The woolen felt filter element is far more forgiving in the respect as it can be crushed easily as you screw in the brass cap. Iam building a bitsa Comet and have come across allsorts of 'interesting problems' , which must have consumed the factory fitters valuable time. i had considered slicing a section out of the filter to make it fit and applying silcone rubber to seal it up. Another idea was to fit a large inert object into the filter chamber, instead of the filter so that the chamber would quickly fill and circulate the oil where necessary and fit an external cartridge in the return line as others do. I think this is also a Royal Enfield dodge. The Spares Company have been persuaded to produce various oversize and under sizes of timing gears perhaps we could make special plea for Comet oil filter elements, which i imagine won't come cheap.
