OIL COOLER ROUTING

[JERSEYJOE]

What is the proper schematic for installing a remote filter and cooler? should the oil come out of the pump to the filter then the cooler, then to the motor? Is the cooler plumbed so that the inlet is on the top or bottom? One more question: where is the most logical place to measute oil tempeture? In the pan? at the cooler?

I would measure temp at the block so you get an idea of what the oil is actually at not what it has been cooled to. as for routing I have no idea but i would put the inlet for the cooler on top.

I am running the Bulltear cover, midplate and remote cooler setup, but I am going to use braided steel lines for the filter and cooler. I was concerned with the system draining back during long periods of sitting. I suppose I could run some sort of pressurized accumulator ( like an accusump) for pre-start prining. What line size is considered adaquate for the remote filter and cooler?

One out of the mount to a T the other out of the mount to the cooler then back to the T and the third leg on the T to the 626 plate. Did you get a T with your plate?

[JERSEYJOE]

I don't think so. Is it a steel fitting?

[jeepsr4ever]

No, should have been brass
