Default do you think this will cause my bearings to mess up?

well i had a chance to tear my motor apart a couple of rod bearing are worst the others but I found my oil filter by pass stuck open I only had 25000 miles on it.
I played with it and every time you pull it and then push it in it get stuck open.

what you guys think?

I am going to guess he is refering to the one in the oil filter adapter. Certainly would not be ideal as far as bearing longevity is concerned.

no I replaced the filter every 2500-3000 miles but I nevered look at the relief valve that the oil filter spins on, everytime I changed my oil&filter I usally drive one side up ramps just anough to reach under the car.
(25000 miles on my motor not filter)
