Re: Oil System Plumbing
Hey Smitty,
I appreciate the clarification of the oil cooler but figured it worked similar to my Mercury Racing Oil T-Stat Filter mount. I like the design and have not ruled it out as it also helps simplify the oil circuit. I thought it came in different sizes. The dual cooler is interesting. Teague has an oil cooler that is a two pass design and is large by comparison. Pricey though.

Re: Oil System Plumbing
Here's an example of what I am using:
I use dual (2 in 1) oil coolers with several 90* -12 Areoquip fittings. I have GIL 10 quart oil pans with the Kieth Eickert HP-6 size Thermofilters, Mellings HV oil pumps that have about 70-75 pounds of oil pressure at start up, and after a hard run will only go down to about no less than 40 pounds of pressure. During a hard run I have never seen the oil temp ever exceed 230*.
