Agree 100%^ Lockie. I could write a book about the benefits of getting your hands dirty.
Since I've posted about my Grandpa before, I'll spare the details. I inherited his tools because I "inherited his genes." The guy is a hero to me, if seemingly to no-one else in my family. Here's to you, Grandpa......thanks.

ok.... to continue the fun.... If that was a bypass. i doubt it would push in, Thats where the spring sits. If that inner piece of metal pushed in the spring would end up inside the filter... I have a filter at home.... i can look at it when i get home. If anything if the filter element would get completely plugged the bypass would have to push out. not in. The filter being clogged would build pressure on the internal part of the filter, so that piece of metal pushing in wouldnt make sense.... or does anyone think im out in left field? Im all for a good discussion about things, and i love to learn/know how things work.... So if you have good reasons where you think im wrong lets hear it... not trying to be smart... just trying to get this figured out. And that piece pushing in doesnt make sense for pressure and the spring reasons.... Unless the oil flows the opposite direction im thinking.

Im going from cars here, but i was pretty sure the oil flows from the inside out. Maybe the spring thats behind the filter is the bypass... Maybe if the oil flows from the inside out and it gets clogged the spring behind the filter compresses and it moves the filter away from the oil filter access door and bypasses that way?

IDRIDR.... did you take it apart enough to see if that piece of metal is truly a bypass? Is there a spring in there to let that plate push in?
But its still not a hole....
