This would be a bad idea.... the last thing you want to ask your oil pump to do is to have to suck the oil through the oil filter......... this would just be asking for oil starvation problems, and what would happen if the filter were to clog up ? I don't think the filter would have the same bypass feature that the stock oil screen has.... there is a kit for an oil filter which replaces the oil screen, but it is not recommended because of this problem. The proper way of filtering the oil is to have the filter located after the pump, thus having the oil pushed through it......no starvation problems, and proper operation of a filter bypass valve.......
