I have been in the heat exchanger business for 20+ years and know that doesn't happen.
The small amount of oil that may bypass a clean filter is far less likely to contain large enough particles to damage your engine than you may get from running filtered oil through a new or reused oil cooler that may be contaminated. There is no foolproof way to clean a new or old heat exchanger due to their construction.
Running the longer filters as articfriend does will further reduce the chances of bypass.

Ok I called Wix they said the 1222R bypass vale is a 18-22lbs that ,61 micron and flows 28-30GPM.Itwill acutually drain back,.being mine is mounted upside down.
Also asked about the 1060R it has just the anti drian back and do NOT have the bypass ,also has the 61 micron,
They discontuned the 1061R that had the bypass valve.
With the HP6 and 1222R is the only fitler in the size.no other choises

Re: Pics Of Oil Cooler Rigging
I found that the biggest drop in my oil temperature occured when I added a #8 dump just past the oil cooler, so now i have a lot of water flow thru the cooler. Before I couldn't achieve a balance between the oil cooler water flow and water flow to the motor. I used a 30mm water temp hose adapter from Greddy and then drilled to pipe thread pad for a bigger pipe to AN fitting. I did the same thing on the other side of the motor for the intercooler.

About oil filter flow: the more oil they flow per minute the less they filter, given the filter is the same size. HP-6 filters have a built in bypass. If the filter doesn't have a bypass then the system needs to have one somewhere.
