Well all of that is great, how bout a pic or two to share with us on these BP filters? My old school point (and Smokey’s) is a large high quality oil filter, along with frequent oil changes, is just fine for 99% of the common hot rodders. And then 2 or even 4 filters are filtering the oil 2x or 4x better with less restriction. Sure, a bypass filter prob scrubs every little bit of crap out of the oil., but at what point are these approach’s somewhat overkill? The other factor is the PVC system, stock one’s just send the foul contaminated crankcase vapors back into the engine, where as valve cover breathers , or catch cans are better, or best yet is a Crankcase Evac set up.
This posts’ engine damage was assembly and parts issues causing internal damage., and maybe using 20w oil which can cause pump and filter bypass. And yeah, with the various ways mentioned in these posts to filter oil it may have reduced the carnage, but prob not totally prevented it.
