If the relief valve port in the filter assembly is UN-damaged then I would think that a "Wafer" could be made from a thin, sturdy piece of material such as plastic, phenolic, etc as long as it is impervious to oils.
It is a necessary part of the oil system and if push comes to shove then the replacement of the entire filter housing assembly is your next step.
This thread sure makes one wonder how many other defective oil relief valves may be out there as I for one have never even looked nor did I know that it was even there. I will check mine at the next oil change.

Mine came out last oil change.......it didn't have the C-clip but was staked in three places.............I was really worried............put it all back together and restaked it back in...........but added a few more stake places............I'll find out if it is holding up next time I change the oil.......it really scared me at first.
But this site took care of me.
