I have a question about the filter bypass. I am getting a new timing cover (from you guys) but it doesnt come with a new filter adapter, so I will be useing my old one. My question is does the filter bypass spring and plunger ever wear out and need replacing? I am gonna clean my old one real good and take the bypass out of it to clean it real good too. I looked at it the other night and I took a small screw driver and pushed the plunger and it was real easy to push in, is it supposed to be real easy to push? It doesnt feel like it would take mutch pressure to overcome it. Next question, if the later model one dont even have these, then is it even needed? What about just pluging it or capping it off? Anyone have any input on this. Thanks.
