Now that is interesting.
I pulled an 85 300D engine out of a cali. car.in April. couldn`t see the poor little thing get crushed at PNP.

So when I get it home and started taking everything off, I pulled the oil filter out. It also had a Fram Turkish filter. I pull the lid off and was surprised to see this short filter come out stuck on the shaft.
Look down inside and see another filter. HMMM, this is different.

well pull it out and it is the bottom half of the filter, it came unglued.

Don`t know the history of the eng. or how long it was in there. but still shouldn`t have happened.

We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works
