Tony, I assume that the filter assy in the CMP is a bypass filter, not a full flow type? (single centre bolt on lid)
In the carriers there is an unrestricted flow through the cooler and back to the galleries. They are fitted with that type of bypass valve which is supposed to bypass the cooler if the oil is cold and thick.
I am keeping this going because I am not yet 100% sure about how it should be in a full flow situation as opposed to the lesser volumne required for a bypass filter (which probably has a 0.065" restrictor on the line in) It makes more sense to have the cross gallery completely blocked, than have some of the supply head off directly to the rear main.
I guess in the end it just might take one more trip around the circuit before it all goes through (an added full flow) filter.
I have just recently installed my crank and am too late for mods now.
