Marko---The oil bi-pass that's built into most filters works differently than the oil bi-pass valve that's screwed into the block. A clogged filter will cause its internal spring to open, enough to where some unfitered oil will pass thru to the engine. The bi-pass valve on the block can open at high pressure, regardless of whether the filter is plugged, or not. Both have a somewhat different role. Dick |
