Does the orientation of the oil filter cover matter? It isn't mentioned in the wiki.

Thanks

ummmm If you can get it to fit, it should be ok... lol No Its the same from all three sides, unless your putting it on inside out...

the 2 bolts go on top and the single goes on bottom... it can only fit one way I believe...

ps- make sure the o-ring is seated correctly before tightening, otherwise oil will come spewing out at startup...

I figured as much. The cover has two stamped "circles" that I thought might have something to do with how the oil flowed through the filter chamber.

Also, the dreaded "Engine tapping noise at idle" was heard for the first time after I started it with new oil and I was concerned that I might have done something wrong.
