For the 90 degree (adjustable) swivel oil filter adapter that clears the exhaust pipe, what are the thicknesses of the three gaskets that go there, 1 on between the bolt and the adapter, 1 large internal one and 1 small internal one.

The large OD one is about 1/8", the one under the bolt head is very thin, basically a just fibre washer, and the "internal" one is thick, soft, and compressible - probably, from memory, about 3/16" - all this one does is prevent dirty oil from bypassing the filter.
