Also Astral,
I’m confused why people are saying the bypass is different? Ive seen that said in more than one place. Below is a factory Century filter i took off. I’m guessing I’m the only guy on here that even still has one of these. After i read your post, I decided to cut her open.the bypass valve is just over 1/2 an inch, 0.2 over. A napa filter i cut open probably 5 years back. i wanna say was the same. Don’t quite remember and not exact same filter, but really close in size. I have a wix 51202 on there now and if it leaks while the tractor is running i will cut that one and look too. And put a Napa on it.
If anyone has another brand filter they are willing to cut open and Mic it. i would love to put this to rest with facts and data. Unless it’s a bypass vs. no bypass kinda thing?
