Hi William:

Don't feel too bad. Leaving the old oil filter gasket on the engine is a
fairly common mistake. I did it once years ago.

Don't feel bad. It's happened before and it will happen again. I learned
my lesson watching someone else make the same mistake, so I was lucky
and he was lucky because the error was discovered while the vehicle was
still on the lift. I guess I really did learn a lesson because before I
completely read your post, I knew what the outcome would likely be.
