I got away from the OEM filters years ago, but I don't think there's a "direction" for them inside the filter cover. it IS pretty imperative to make sure the spring (5 on the diagram) and the spring washer (4) are still in there. usually the washer was lost somewhere/somehow through the years.
I use a spin-on adapter amazingly machined by one of our members. saves a lot of time and hassle when you're crawling around on your knees and maybe your back.
