There is a oil bypass valve on the bottom of the oil filter housing that is held on by two fasteners. Have you checked oil pressure with a mechanical gauge or are you using the dash gauge? There is a test port on the filter housing. :pca1:

there also is a plastic anti drainback valve kit from ford for 8.68 and its pn 6800fz installed on my other 6 trucks and all my oil pressures came up on those as well
