I've seen those, but I'm hesitant because the current filter location is entirely flush to the block, and the oil filter isn't recessed so there can't be anything protruding. I also don't remember anything that looked like that when I changed the oil in the past. I attached a pick of the oil filter location.
I've already contacted the rebuilder about this, and they gave me a part number to order, and it wasn't the right part. I know this isn't the best situation but it is what it is now, and I'm just trying to get my truck going again. I found this part from the same site:

Would this be right? Could the bypass valve be configured differently for my engine? Do I need the bypass valve?
