The first one is an oil pressure relief. In case the oil system becomes blocked. So it does not grenade the oil pump.
The second post pic is the oil pressure regulator. It's located on the rear cast iron.

The reason I ask is :

Im going to play around with the Rear Regulator that Easy has mentioned. So I need to modify the front too (so it will not always go into bypass).

I know I can just buy Mazmart's kit and call it a day. but I just wanna try this myself first. hope I don't f-ed it up cuz I am going to try to rebuild my fC's engine soon. this will be another mod to do.
