The AMSOIL 2-1/2 inch Bypass Gasket (BP196) is a replacement gasket for the AMSOIL Bypass System lineup, sized 2.80 in. O.D., 2.50 in. I.D., 0.20 in. thick. It seals the filter housing to the mounting baseplate at the gasket face, where the bypass element threads onto the head, and it ships as a single piece for service replacement when the bypass element is changed.
The BP196 gasket is the matching service part for the BK295, BK296, BK297, BK298, BK299, BK300, and BK310 mounting heads used in the Universal Dual-Remote Bypass System (BMK23) and the Ford 6.7L Dual-Remote Bypass System (BMK28). The same part number covers any of the listed mounting heads regardless of the engine the system is installed on.
Replace the gasket every time the bypass element is changed. Lightly oil the new gasket with a clean drop of engine oil before installing the housing, then thread the housing on by hand to the recommended turn count past contact. Overtightening crushes the gasket and causes leaks; undertightening allows seepage under operating pressure. The matching bypass element (AMSOIL EaBP series) and any related service hardware should be inspected at the same time so the system is returned to service with all sealing surfaces in known condition.
The BP196 gasket is sold as a single replacement part. AMSOIL bypass system parts are backed by the AMSOIL Limited Liability Warranty. Confirm the right service part for the bypass system through the oil filter guide and the AMSOIL Vehicle Lookup Guide, then order the AMSOIL 2-1/2 inch Bypass Gasket.
Yes. AMSOIL recommends replacing the gasket each time the bypass element is changed or the bypass head is opened for service. A used gasket that has taken a set against a mating surface rarely seals reliably the second time, especially under the elevated oil temperatures and pressures the bypass loop sees in service.
Dimensional match alone does not guarantee a compatible material. The BP196 gasket is specified for the operating temperature, oil compatibility, and pressure profile of the AMSOIL bypass loop. Substituting a generic part of unknown material risks premature failure, leaks, or chemical degradation that can contaminate the lubrication system.
The BP196 gasket is the service-replacement part for the Universal Dual-Remote Bypass System (BMK23) and the Ford 6.7L Dual-Remote Bypass System (BMK28). The mounting heads that share this part number are the BK295, BK296, BK297, BK298, BK299, BK300, and BK310.
Yes. AMSOIL Bypass System parts, including this gasket, are backed by the AMSOIL Limited Liability Warranty. The warranty covers the AMSOIL part itself; correct installation per the bypass system instructions is the installer's responsibility.
