Question Mark : Since oil pressure leaves out of the top plate through the filter and cooler and returns at the bottom, Have you not is reality removed the oil bypass valves out of the system or not? Would the bypass dump pressurized oil into the bearing system (clogged filter scenerio) or has that been closed off now because of the plugged oil cooler passage? Thanks for the pics.
