Oil Change on my DD.....how hard can it be ?

[greywuuf]

I have never failed so hard in my life ..two filters 5 quarts of oil and 3 "gaskets" and I still cant run my 6v53 .... I can not seem to get the square profile "O" ring to stay in the groove in the adaptor ( block ?) and every time I start the engine oil gushes out.. and what is up with the spring being so long that you cant get the retaining bolt started without compressing it ? What am I doing wrong ? Tips tricks advice ?

Flames, laughter at my pain ? Something it has Kicked my butt all day maybe tomorrow
