In my opinion, there is nothing wrong with bypass. It's there for a reason. When oil is cold and can't flow through filter freely, it will by-pass filter element and still supply oil to engine, a good thing.
As for converting over to a spin on filter. I have a Jubilee with spin on filter that has issues. When tractor sits for a few days, more than half the oil drains back to engine. You can see it on the dip stick. You can take filter off and see that over 60% of the oil is missing.
I'm not 100% sure my problem is. I've tried many different filters. I'm not sure my problem is the way the conversion kit was installed.
I notice it takes about 10 seconds to fill filter and build oil pressure. My engine was totally rebuilt before I bought it. Engine runs great, uses no oil. Some say there may be something wrong inside, however I'm not taking the engine apart to find out. Instead, I use full synthetic oil, thinking synthetic gives me better dry engine start up.
I just changed my oil and this time I found the smallest Delco filter that will fit. It too drains back, but because it's smaller I have less oil to put back in filter. It 4 seconds before I notice oil pressure gauge move.
I wish my tractor was never converted over.
I have a farmall C with the old can filter. I really don't see why I would ever want to convert it over to a spin on filter.
Don't worry about a bypass relief valve, good thing. Worry about drain back. If you do convert, post back. I would like to know if it drains back. George
