How much pressure do you think that would give? I suspect only a couple of psi at best unless the filter is nearly blocked.
I run a Bill Stipe high volume, high pressure pump with direct feed tot he middle main bearing but I made my own relief valve to limit the pressure to 25 psi. The higher the pressure, the greater the load on the distributor/oil pump drive on the cam shaft.
