"Oil come in above and flows top to bottom and from center out"

Thats not what I said and not whats shown in diagram., Lets try it this way, Unfiltered oil goes from outside of the canister( hose from HP oil galley on the side of the block to the "side" of filter housing ) to the inside of canister through the element, the now filtered oil goes through the metering hole in the center tube and then out the bottom back to the oil pan via the PR valve. These engines have a "Bypass" filter which mean none of the oil gets filtered before it goes to the bearings like our modern "Fullflow" oil system engines do. The Bypass filter taps off the main HP oil galley then filters the oil and then returns it to the oil pan
