AMSOIL 1-7/8 inch ID x 0.10 Bypass O-Ring
The AMSOIL 1-7/8 inch ID x 0.10 Bypass O-Ring (BP347) is a replacement O-ring for the AMSOIL Bypass System lineup, sized 1-7/8 in. I.D. x 0.10 in. thick. It seals the bypass mounting head where it joins the housing or hose connection, and it ships as a single piece for service replacement when the bypass element is changed.
What the O-ring fits
The BP347 O-ring is the matching service part for the BK301 mounting head used in the Universal Dual-Remote Bypass System (BMK23) and the Ford 7.3L Dual-Remote Bypass System (BMK26). The same part number covers any of the listed mounting heads regardless of the engine the system is installed on.
- Mounting head fitted: BK301.
- Bypass systems fitted: BMK23 and BMK26.
- Dimensions: 1-7/8 in. I.D. x 0.10 in. thick.
- Sold individually as service-replacement part BP347.
Installation and service
Replace the O-ring every time the bypass system is opened for service. Lightly coat the new O-ring with clean engine oil before installation, seat it in the matching groove without twisting, and tighten the mating components to the recommended torque. Reusing an O-ring after deformation usually causes a slow seep 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.

Frequently asked questions
Does the O-ring need to be replaced at every bypass service?
Yes. AMSOIL recommends replacing the O-ring each time the bypass element is changed or the bypass head is opened for service. A used O-ring 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.
Can a generic O-ring of the same dimensions be substituted?
Dimensional match alone does not guarantee a compatible material. The BP347 O-ring 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.
Which bypass systems use the BP347 O-ring?
The BP347 O-ring is the service-replacement part for the Universal Dual-Remote Bypass System (BMK23) and the Ford 7.3L Dual-Remote Bypass System (BMK26). The mounting head that share this part number is the BK301.
Are these parts covered by warranty?
Yes. AMSOIL Bypass System parts, including this O-ring, 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.
