Oil filter canister bypass disable

These are going through the machine shop now. It's something we started on last year but we have just been too busy to get some of these new products pushed through.
If there is enough demand, we can make a version that omits the bypass completely.

Where did you @Porschetech3 or @FunWithPaul buy the Uro alum filter housing? I tried Rock Auto, no deal. Does it come with a new rubber gasket? Very interested. Thx.

Many don't want to use our spin on oil filter adapter, so we have in production now a billet housing that will incorporate a higher pressure bypass valve as well as a really big magnet located at the bypass. We have a similar version already available for models where a spin on oil filter adapter was not practical:

Interested. Curious.
YMMV

Guys, I am slow on the uptake for this one. Why would someone want to run this on their engine? Just trying to figure out the application/purpose. Its a cool canister.
Thanks for an explanation.

Well, this is a very nice, seems to be high quality, thick/solid/strong housing, that can possibly be drilled and tapped for oil temp/pressure/accusump(?), fittings. And the bypass port easily 'bypassed'.

Fair enough. Another mundane question. What is the reason/application for bypassing the bypass port?

But more than likely with the frequency we change our oil/filter at, the filter will never get clogged enough to trigger a 'clogged, in bypass' problem (unless the imsb or something else disintegrates completely filling the filter, very unlikely but possible). But suppose heavy weigh oil might trigger a bypass under the right circumstances, and any debris in bottom of filter will flow directly into bearings...
Some are concerned that the aluminum canister will burst from high pressure, more than likely never ever happen, probably the plastic canister won't either, unless its been damaged, maybe by a backyard mechanic's channel locks/filter wrench.
Also the oil pressure relief valve will also open and bypass high pressure back to sump on that side of the circuit.
So, bottom line, many of use will take our chances with no filter canister bypass, thus keeping all the debris//crap/smegma/etc, in the filter, never to leave the filter. Its lots Less of a risk than crap being sent to bearings when in filter bypass, Just like the LN spin on filter adapters don't have a bypass. And those spin on (beer/soup can thick) filters are far less robust/thick than this URO aluminum one, or even the oem plastic one, and with no bypass.
Most of the people that don't like the filter bypass have seen trashed main bearings from debris scoring when tearing down bum engines....

When running heavy weight oils some say on cold starts its possible for the high pressure filter bypass to open up(especially if the filter is clogged ) and discharge all the crap on the bottom of filter housing directly in to the main oil gallery, going directly to main bearings. Not good.
