Block oil bypass vs filter bypass
Does anyone know the relationship between these 2 bypasses? I mean if you are running a 30lb block bypass valve, will it open before the filter bypass would, or vice versa? Or perhaps it varies significantly based on the filter manufacturer?
) you did.

If it is on an MPI motor, the 30 lb bypass valve in the block is likely always open a bit bleeding hot oil into the motor due to the crappy remote oil system they had. I can't believe the oil pressure I gained when I ditched that stock system and put a real oil system on. Went from 32/35 psi HOT WOT to 52/55 psi HOT WOT. Turns out my bearings weren't loose, the oil system was just that terrible.
