Reminds me of the time I did the filter on the missus' Mustang Cobra. I didn't know the filter held a check ball in place. Lucky it landed in the shop rag.



I'm not aware of a check ball, was it round or did it have a mushroom shape?



It's been ages since either a ball or a small rod or pin with a spring. I think I realized what I did when I was looking up the pan bolt torque or band adjustment value before I put the pan on. One of those deals where I didn't read the FSM before I started because who would use the filter body to retain vital parts?
