In other words, if it plugs up, it will bypass rather than blowing up. I'm considering a way to eliminate a big hose that's in the way of ever adding an air filter, but the only way I can think to do it is to run the oil through the cooler, then to the filter, then to the oil filter pad. At that point, it would connect to the regulator, and to the engine. The only problem I can see with this, is if the filter plugged up, and didn't have a bypass valve built in. I don't see any reason why this wouldn't work, and I can't believe I didn't think of this when I was making the oil filter bypass block.
