It cost you one engine already and could have cost you the rebuild. It’s doesn’t seem like a matter of “if” it will collapse but “when” it will. And that’s been my experience with those canister oil filters on many types of equipment and engines. To answer your question, some have an internal bypass and some don’t. I’m not sure about that one but there is no mention of a bypass on jegs or summit. One thing I did notice is a 10 micron element and a 45 micron element. If you’re using the 10 it will clog quickly and they recommend cleaning it after every race.
