I digress on my explanation about the plug hole behind the timing chain. My memory/knowledge did not serve me well on that I guess.

The oil filter bypass! I hope we don't beat that dead horse here. I've weighed in on that more times than I care to remember or admit. Blocking it is foolish. Let's see what that starts!
