If the disk is offset when it should instead be down inside the recessed area, then 53' Stude should be able to see some light through it, or it will leak water like a sieve if tested like I suggested earlier. But sounds like he's not interested in investigating.
It was clear you were not saying nothing looked wrong. So why would I say you were. That is part of reading in context. If the disk is in the recess it is OK, if not it is going to leak, being open. Because it is not resting on it's sealing area but on the ridge. I can see it is not in the recess in the picture, even the gap is seen. There is no need to test anything I am comfortable with what I see.. This is the third one with the off bypass. The 45 record spring probably doesn't move side to side much if at all. I don't really care what '53 does or doesn't do on it. I am older than his father, already in mid career when he was born. I have plenty of Purolator old filters to look at that bypass construction, and already have. Don't need any advice on their build. I appreciate his good work and efforts, good hearted person, we all do our best and just have a hobby talking oil filters. Not a big deal to the rest of the world, believe me.
I used to drive a 59 Studebaker Lark to work, for years. Nice car with the small v8 for it's day, but a piece of junk compared to a modern car. Side comment.
