Oil bypass

What is the purpose of the oil bypass that is sitting on the right side of the engine block, close to the oil cooler? What should I be concerned about it?

This is to a v 12 engine

Mine is an Eight but I believe it serves the same function on a 12. It is set up to bypass the oil filter if it becomes clogged.

Hi Guys,

NO – it is to bypass the oil COOLER if IT becomes clogged.  All oil goes thru the filter, then the cooler, or if the cooler is clogged or purposely blocked, thru the bypass.

Cheers,
