http://i44.tinypic.com/dxo2s.jpg   What is that part that I circled?? I couldn't find it in the FSM. I took mine out and there is a rod and spring going into the oil filter adapter.. I need to know what it is because it is interfering with my new turbo manifold and I need to figure out what to do about it! Please help!!
