The later type of conversion has a more complex, self adjusting arrangement with a flat seal on a spring loaded plate. This is supposed to work better, but I've never had one to examine.
Worth a look maybe?

Hi Nick,
Thank you for that very useful info. After reading your post and
then having a look around on the net, it would appear the inner
seal could be at odds with the block due to variance with production tolerances.
I'll have a look today
Regards,

Hi,
I had a look at the spin-on filter assembly today on my Pi and found I had one of the self adjusting types, with the spring loaded plate. So no easy fix there for bottom end rumble on start-up.
Thanks for the info on this anyway
When I fitted a spin-on conversion years ago it came with two O-rings and a bit of plasticene. The instructions were to bolt it up initially with plasticene in the inner position, then inspect and see how compressed it was, and select the appropriate O-ring.
