Oil system myths

Since we're talking oil system myths...
Some people say, when the bypass opens oil just gets 'dumped back into the pan'.....FALSE. At least on big-blocks. There's only one way in, and one way out of the pump. Bypassed oil just recirculates within the pump itself.
Is it the same on small-blocks though, or is there a passage back into the pan for bypassed oil?

Yes. But you can move the bypass out of the pan and make it adjustable but that’s a PITA and only worth it if you are making power above 8000 RPM.
