Bypass Engine Oil filter?

I would like to install a Engine Oil Bypass filter system and was wondering if anybody here has made one. I have seen various ones, and it looks like that there are already ports on the oil cooler/engine block where it can be plumbed in. I don't want to relocate my main filter, I want to add a bypass.

Yes, there are home-brew bypass systems out there. I've had one on my truck for years.

Here's my version of a "how-to" that includes the Blackstone Labs oil reports for many years:

It's at a very temporary URL, so if you want to do it this way, grab a copy before it disappears.

I have a filter head and filter for an Amsoil unit I would sell. It does not come with any plumbing.
