This filter was in use for 4940 miles and 4 months following an engine reseal. There were gasket scrapings in between the pleats, not visible in the photos. I'm surprised the visible gasket scraping made it past the oil pickup screen.
No defects that I can detect on this filter, though I'm not sure the metal part in the second photo is supposed to be loose like that.
I had a magnet on the can, so some ferrous metal got collected.
Bellow see a comparison of inlet holes to an older KN HP2009.
