Abstract: A spark plug is provided that includes an improved jamb nut configuration, which provides improved torque transfer and prevents inadvertent separation of the jamb nut from the remaining components of the spark plug, particularly during removal from the engine head. The spark plug is configured for axial insertion into the plug hole, and may have a non-axisymmetric ground shield that fits into the plug hole, wherein the plug hole is also provided with a complementary non-axisymmetric shape. The spark plug includes a central insulator, which has an inner end surrounding a central electrode and supporting the ground shield, which is mounted on the insulator to support a ground strap adjacent the electrode for forming a spark therebetween. The insulator and ground shield are axially slidable into the plug hole, and the jamb nut is rotatable to fix the spark plug in position in a predefined orientation. The insulator includes a retaining clip outwardly of the jamb nut that permits rotation of the jamb nut relative to the insulator but prevents axial separation of the jamb nut during removal of the spark plug from the engine head. An improved tool is also provided which better distributes torque transfer to the jamb nut and includes a catch to facilitate pulling of the spark plug from the engine head.

Abstract: A filter assembly comprises a housing open at one end, a filter element therein, and a plate at the open end enclosing the filter element within the housing. The filter assembly further includes a fluid flow control assembly disposed between an end of the filter element and the plate. The fluid flow control assembly includes a check valve and a relief valve seat upon which the check valve abuts to prevent flow of fluid through a by-pass passage. The check valve is held in a sealed position against the relief valve seat by a biasing member retained by the relief valve seat. The force of the biasing member is overcome when pressure in the fluid acting upon the check valve reaches or exceeds a certain level, causing the check valve to move away from the relief valve seat, and permitting the fluid to flow through the relief valve assembly to an outlet opening of the filter assembly, bypassing the filter element of the filter assembly.

Abstract: A fluid filter such as an oil filter for a vehicle is provided. The fluid filter includes a body having a first, closed end and a second, open end. A plate is coupled to the second end, the plate having a first surface and a threaded portion having a thread pitch. A channel member has an outer edge coupled to the second end of the body, wherein the channel member defines a recess with an open side opposite the first surface of the plate. A stop member is disposed within the recess of the channel member, the stop member having a first height. A sealing member is coupled to the stop member, and the sealing member has a second height greater than the first height of the stop member.
