Completely bizarre. I've never seen that happen before. It was crimped, but just enough to see the crimps. They obviously didn't hold it at all.
I'll be checking all my filter gaskets from now on before I install them.

I always worry that I might bump the gasket off that the part where the filter threads on to.
after I successfully catch the oil filter on the threads, I always make sure that the gasket is still on it.

That's what she said :winner_third_h4h:
do you lube the gasket before install? I like to fill the filter with fresh oil once, let it soak in for a couple minutes, and dip my pinkie in the fill before it disappears and run it around the gasket. guess I could "flick" the gasket with a clean finger before lubing it, to see if it's loose or not.
That's funny, that's pretty much what I do. Dad taught me. I usually give the gasket a slight tug too. Many many years ago (probably 35 years now) I had one that was loose right out of the box, so always check. Haven't had a loose one since though. :gr_grin:
I haven't run across a loose one yet, always check the new and old filter. I also lube up the new one, just stick a fanger in the old oil and run that around the gasket. 
You guys and your oil filter mis-haps.......I got one too. Years ago I changed the oil/filter in my Bronco. Of course I was in a hurry. I did have one good habit at the time though. As a habit, I would start it up and check for leaks and shut it off and recheck the oil level. The filter was leaking..........darn. Shut it off and checked, and it was tight....wtf Took it off and there was 2 gaskets on it....wtf. I checked the old filter and there was no gasket on it so what happened was the gasket came off the filter and stuck on the machined filter mating surface when I was taking it off........Ever since, I check everything and make sure the gasket is attached to the old filter, oil the new gasket, etc.

Never happened to me, but I actually know a few people that has happened to, so I always make sure the old filter has its gasket when removed.
Yep, always do. Gasket didn't move.
Yea I read recently the heat scale used by the various plug manufactures is not universal. The right up stated that NGK, DENSO "never mind here is the link https://www.densoproducts.com/product.aspx?zpid=10971 once there check out the spec page and drill down on the heat range. In short High numbers by some really mean a cool plug while small numbers by other may mean a hot plug.
I spent 7$ and change CDA for one NGK COPPER and since my coils and replacement plugs were going to run $300 at a local store and went straight away to Rock and ordered my coils and the Denso plugs listed in the link. It cost the same to ship coils alone or with the plugs so I opted to spend the extra 16$ CDA to upgrade the plugs. They would of charged that for one plug here.
Perhaps a separate long running thread with Coils / Plugs along with mileage could be helpful.
Think it was done on here , LOSTJEEPs or somewhere back a few years ago
I had looked up the sensor on the front of the engine a few weeks back to see what it was - so it apparently stuck in my head when I decided to replace the cam position sensor. Duh.
Popped off the air filter box, saw it right away. Once I figured how to remove the electrical connector, the rest was easy.
Cleaned spongebob while I had the filter box open and off, cleaned the filter box. Cleaned the throttle plate and bore because I could. Sprayed PB Blaster on the upper shock mount bolts 'cause they're pretty rusty and replacing the assemblies is on my list.
Started and ran perfectly, no leaks (phew).

Got a couple of good jerry cans at the swap meet. Now it is time to clean one of them up and put a fresh coat of paint on them. Then to figure out where to mount them.

Found out that my tailgate clunk was in fact not my tailgate. Did some routine maintenance by lubing everything and noticed the ebrake cable cake out of its holder by the diff. Fixed it, now no more clunks

Hmm. Maybe if I take the engines out of the snowblowers I will get some snow. Or maybe get the bike ready for spring and it will bring a blizzard.
