full rebuild with bearings, rings, head ,referb ,new oil pump
or partial rebuild re ring ?
filter issue wont be because of rebuild or higher oil pressure
try filling the filter with some oil before fitting
are you smearing the new oil filter seal with new oil before fitting
and is the surface of the face where the oil filter spins smooth no scratches or gouges or roughness
wierd
if the seal is intact you can use silicon sealant
to get it to seat and not leak
are to putting the filter on too tight or not tight enough?
spin till contact is made to block
and hand tighten only no filter tool
run motor and if leaking tighten one third turn more
if you use the tool and screw it on heavy
will flatten the seal and
you may need to cut the oil filter off next surface
