Don---Thanks for continuing on this. Maybe I just have the filter parts stacked
wrong, but it looks like oil can't go anyway but thru the middle of the filter
to the outside.. I see how the Bentley diagram shows this flow, (which got me
started) but when coupling these parts in my (spare) oil filter assembly, it
would seem like oil trying to go from the outside in won't unseat the by-pass
valve. Having the actual parts in hand would make this appear to be the case..
Any others care to join in? How about those with the spin-on style? The full
flow feature should be the same.

Okay, look again at the Bentley manual drawing. It shows the oil moving
along the outside of the plugged filter, then pushing open the
spring-loaded relief valve at the bolt, pushing it toward the engine
block, and thus getting around the plugged filter. The valve is moved
off it's seat from oil pressure that is pushing from outside the
paper filter element.
I'm saying the Bentley drawing shows exactly how the overflow valve works.
