hhey,
Now my brain thinks this way... Stay with me a second here...
Ok you run a solution like your autorx through the oiling system and it loosens up the bits and pieces of crap (soot, sludge or buildup) that means this stuff is suddenly floating throughout the oiling system until it makes it to either the full flow filter or bypass filter. Now this crap has to pass by the bearings and other important stuff so what's to say by freeing this stuff up you won't cause more of a problem... just thinking out loud...
Now before you go off on a tangent here, let me say this. More than likely you will loosen this stuff up from the drain back system (heads for example) so then the stuff will break loose and find it's way down to oil pan where it will more than likely be sucked up by the oil pump then pushed to the oil cooler (on an IDI that is the next stop off point right before the full flow filter - but on a PSD I don't know what the oiling system path is) so that would mean if the full flow filter does not grab it then it's off to the bearings we go. that is unless it decides to take the right turn towards the bypass system this pass around. I say that the IF the full flow grabs it because we all know that the full flow doesn't do much other than grab the big huge hairy chunks from the oiling system. Hence the reason you run a bypass in the first place.

Not a good thing!
