This is not present in a bypass filter. Your engine will starve for oil when cold. There is no filter bypass built into the block. Modern engines with spin on filters either have a bypass built into the block or into the filter.
The nice thing about the full flow 261 is that the remote spin on kits for V8's work with no modification- just plumb the 1/2" NPT hoses right into the block. However, you need the ford version that has the bypass built into the filter.
