Has anyone done the oil cooler bypass on our n55? Can someone chime in on the mechanics behind the opening of the oil cooler to allow fluid to get to the cooler?

I am looking for the DIY version in which we invert the location of the piston already in place. Lodging the piston inside the chambe in putting the spring on top, versus the spring going in first and the piston on top. Is it safe to do such a conversion. The oil will now always run through the cooler. Will the piston every get stuck in the chamber? What are some cons?

Some insight would be great as to what benefits have been noticed. I am hitting as high as 247F oil temps in this summer heat and need to solve this quick.
