Oil Pressure Bypass Valve Question
Can someone tell me which Oil Pressure Bypass Valve is the correct one to use with a remote filter/ cooler setup? My understanding was that 25161284 is the 30 pound valve that should be used with the remote set-up and 25013759 is the standard 15 lb valve used when the filter is in the stock location on the block. However in the Teague article: https://www.offshoreonly.com/article...tech-revisited he's recommending the 25013759. I'm referring to the valve on the block filter pad, not the one in the return tube.

^^^Yup. ^^^
If installing one though, Teague made a misprint or wrote this before it was known about the higher psi valve.
This is straight from GM:

Engines using a sandwich adapter between the block and oil filter to connect a remote oil cooler must use GM # 25161284 oil filter bypass valve (in the location adjacent to oil filter nipple) to compensate for higher system backpressure.

When that bypass filter opens, the oil is not going to the oil cooler which means it's no going to the filter either. Double whammy.

Not necessarily. I have no doubt that the bypass is opening but it's not carrying all the oil- my thermostat is plumbed into my remote filter mount and the temperature still moves up and down when running and the lines & filter still get hot. Some oil is pumping through that circuit while I have no doubt some is being bypassed, which leads to my question about whether that would cause lower pressure.

I'd love to. Do you happen to know of a dwarf small enough to walk under my engines and hammer a plug in?? If not, I'll go ahead and try to change it out for a 30lb valve as I mentioned above.
