In my opinion, there is nothing wrong with bypass. It's there for a reason. When oil is cold and can't flow through filter freely, it will by-pass filter element and still supply oil to engine, a good thing.
As for converting over to a spin on filter. I have a Jubilee with spin on filter that has issues. When tractor sits for a few days, more than half the oil drains back to engine. You can see it on the dip stick. You can take filter off and see that over 60% of the oil is missing.
I'm not 100% sure my problem is. I've tried many different filters. I'm not sure my problem is the way the conversion kit was installed.
I notice it takes about 10 seconds to fill filter and build oil pressure. My engine was totally rebuilt before I bought it. Engine runs great, uses no oil. Some say there may be something wrong inside, however I'm not taking the engine apart to find out. Instead, I use full synthetic oil, thinking synthetic gives me better dry engine start up.
I just changed my oil and this time I found the smallest Delco filter that will fit. It too drains back, but because it's smaller I have less oil to put back in filter. It 4 seconds before I notice oil pressure gauge move.
I wish my tractor was never converted over.
I have a farmall C with the old can filter. I really don't see why I would ever want to convert it over to a spin on filter.
Don't worry about a bypass relief valve, good thing. Worry about drain back. If you do convert, post back. I would like to know if it drains back. George

Today's Featured Article - Product Review: Black Tire Paint - by Staff. I have been fortunate in that two of my tractors have had rear tires that were in great shape when I bought the tractor. My model "H" even had the old style fronts with plenty of tread. My "L" fronts were mismatched Sears Guardsman snow tires, which I promptly tossed. Well, although these tires were in good shape as far as tread was concerned, they looked real sad. All were flat, but new tubes fixed that. In addition to years and years of scuffing and fading, they had paint splattered on
