I'm having a debate with a friend of mine whether or not the factory installed oil filter (green textured one) was painted or not when the engine was painted as the assembly. I seen factory pics where you can clearly see the filter is the textured green one but he says it wouldn't have made sense for them not to paint it as the fuel pump and exhaust manifolds were painted on the engine as well. So was the filter painted on the engine like the rest of the parts, masked off and masking removed, or filter installed afterwards with some kind of plate / cover installed to keep the gasket surface clean of paint?
Who is right?
