Just doesn't look right
I am in the final stages of completing my head gasket, egr delete, oil cooler project and I’m to a stopping point. In the removal of the oil filter stand I removed all three screws and did not pay much attention and now I'm stuck. I cannot remember exactly how to re assemble the anti-drain back and oil cooler bypass assembly as far as where the spring goes. I assumed that it goes under the anti-drain back valve but it just does not look right in how it just sits on top of the base below. Am I missing something here, all I have is the spring, bracket with the valve and the mounting screws. Thanks for your help

Here is a link to a srmastertech video, and at about 8:50 in the video it shows a pretty good shot of the valve you are talking about. You will note in the video he doesn't actually remove the drain back valve or at least that I saw.
hope this helps.

They were extra housings I had laying around from past projects, so they sit in the corner of the garage collecting dust/dirt.

I dont take mine apart Like that the Oil Filter Housing that is
Just those 3 main housing bolts but leave all the Valves and drains and stuff In Tact and Pull the Housing as a Unit Out
Make shure you roll the engine By Hand before you Fire it up the first time
I dont know why but sometimes it will bend the Pushrods
I think somehow they stay Pumped Up and is common to Bend a rod that first crank
Cheezit is the guy to ask all the specifics on this
All I know is if you roll it by hand a couple times you will AVOID This
