I'm really surprised you reinstalled that oil filter.
I would've put on a dependable store bought filled with Risolene,then shortly remove it & throw it away on as it will probably have some serious particles and crap in it after you start it up a lil more...You are going to excercise it a lil more,aren't you?..You could even cut the store bought in half to get a good idea what the engines like inside afterwards.
Keep the original filter in the glove box or console,or reinstall it for a special showing,as your's and Dons are probably the only two left in the real world today.
I was for you keeping the undercoating on too,but after seeing the brilliance and originality in that oil filter,I've changed my mind completely.
I'm siding with Shauger & vote for removing it all to see what other Van Nuys assembly questions she's waiting to answer.
