I think Gil you meant to say filter screw/bolt. If using a factory shallow pan, the bolt has a shoulder on it. No spacer required for the bolt. If using a deep pan, then a spacer is used along with a longer bolt with a shoulder on it that is used as a stop. With either pan a shorter or longer filter extension is used depending on the pan depth. In either case the filter is loose fitting and what you are seeing is normal providing that the correct pieces have been used. Post up some pictures is you can. This will better help us to tell you that you have the correct pieces or not. Vince
