Got a rebuilt engine and I am in the process of install the oil filter adapter. The lil tube that comes out of the block appears to be too long to allow the filter adapter to sit flush...am I missing something?

That little tube is just a roll pin to keep the adapter from spinning. Tap it in further or trim it with a dremel. You could even remove it but you'll have to hold the adapter as you torque the big bolt.
