OK, (THE WHY) I messed up the threads on the canister fitting and thinking about a cheap way out.

I'm not a fan of the head mounted filters on some engines as well, but they can be mounted in other locations. Are there downsides to not having a filter? A filter is going to remove particles from the oil, a good thing, but the engine will survive without it. As for the stripped threads, that should be a fairly simple fix.
