I have not checked the actual engine plumbing, but if either elements fail the oil will be unfiltered. Aside from that there has to be a pressure relief in the engine block or pump to preclude over pressurization and keep oil pressure constant under varying rpms. The bypass in the filter is to prevent the paper element form rupturing should it become clogged and to allow greater oil flow when the oil is cold. Also will allow oil to bypass a dirty filter. I have all the spin on adaptors/parts, and even an accusump if any one is interested PM.
