From an old Craftsman w/ 25hp Kohler I'm fixing up for my sister. Unknown age and hours. No bypass valve.

I'm guessing combo valve. Since it's a cheaper looking championHas a bypass valve it’s built into the base plate

There's an STP S3614 on it now.Typical first-ish generation ecore using a combo valve and polyester endcaps. Not my fav but likely fine for an OPE application. However, for what OPE filters go for, one can get automotive application with silicone adbv, standard bypass for less money. ST3614 for ~$3 be very similar to topic. MP adds silicone adbv.
Thanks for c&p.
I have never seen a base plate bypass on a CHAMP, do you have a link to any good photos? I thought all E core had the two plates, All the ones I have seen do: One for gasket retention and the main one for ADBV seating and center outlet hole thread forming and structure.You can kind of see the two sets of holes in the base plate (through the outside plate hole at 2 o'clock)., which is on combo valve style. Need a photo of the other side of the base plate to see it better.

That's just the way it is stamped.Also, what is that grey circular tab on the assembly leaf shim - where the bypass poppet would normally be?
I'm curious if the AZ STP S3614 same as Super Tech ST3614 which is very similar to or same as topic. Next time I'm by AZ I'll look at it. I should have added the Super Tech MP series in addition to silicone adbv has a separate bypass too.There's an STP S3614 on it now.
The base plate (not the very thin sheet metal plate on the very outside of the base plate with the big holes) has a series of two hole patterns in it.I have never seen a base plate bypass on a CHAMP, do you have a link to any good photos?

I cant envision how it would work.
Interesting. I didn't even notice that. was wondering how that worked.The base plate (not the very thin sheet metal plate on the very outside of the base plate with the big holes) has a series of two hole patterns in it.
Champ XL filters
I’m considering using the ChampXL line of filters for my vehicles. RA has the filters for my 3 cars for $3.xx. Just got off the phone with their tech support. I have seen questions about Champ filters come up here before, so I thought I'd post the answers I got. My first question was where they...bobistheoilguy.com
