[Fot] TR oil filter head bypass

[Greg Blake via Fot <fot@autox.team.net>]

Howdy folks,

Another dumb question as we are finishing the assembly of my sonâ??s street TR3 
motor. We are cleaning and refurbishing an old filter head off the spares 
shelf. We are using a later Tecalemit head and will be using a spin on filter 
adapter. 

So the dumb question. Is there any reason to retain the functionality of the 
pressure bypass valve on this filter head? My assumption is that we will be 
using a spin on filter with an integral bypass valve (most Iâ??ve looked at 
range from 10-20 psi). So why retain the ball and spring bypass in the filter 
head? Isnt that redundant? Whats the preferred method to remove this internal 
bypass? Just a threaded plug?

Second related dumb question. What are yall using to replace the no longer 
available rubber seal that is used where the oil pressure adjustment valve 
screws into the side of the filter head? All of mine are severely dry rotted. 
Wondering if some form a gasket RTV is the go to here. 

Thanks for the help. 

Greg
