I was thinking that it was blocking a hole drilled in the block that 
is covered by the oil filter mounting bracket..but I'm just not 
sure??? It didn't look like it came out of the filter--but it had to 
pop out somewhere in the oil line after the oil went through the 
filter--but it never made it out of the main oil galley!

tell me--I'm dying to know!
