Interesting set up, Kevin. Difficult to tell
form photos, but it appears that it is a remote oil filter setup such that some
oil is always filtered but some oil always bypasses the filter. The only
thing I can figure is someone was concerned about a plugged oil filler
disrupting all oil flow and they wanted a route for some oil to
bypass the filter in that case.
The problem, as I see, it if the two holes are near
the same size, then majority of the oil may take the easier path and by-pass the
filter as the path of least resistance.

Subject: [FlyRotary] remote oil
adapter
I bought this remote oil filter adapter
from someone on this list. I am about to mount it and I'll be damned if
I can figure out how this is the same configuration. all 5 holes on the
adapter are common to one another inside, whereas on the original bracket the
oil has to pass thru the oil filter membrane in order to reach the other
outlet. it seems to me that with this adapter the oil can easily bypass
any filter. what point am I missing? which holes go to the remote
filter? which way does the oil pass thru this bracket? is all the
oil filtered all the time? if not, what are the two
circuits?
