    Thanks for the picture Chuck, exactly what I was looking for. On your hose routing, are you coming from the tank, through the cooler, through the thermostat, over the top of the motor into the oil pump and finally back to the tank?

    Mine is setup with a cooler laying flat on top of the motor ,in the return line. I don't think this is correct and my cooler doesn't do squat because no air flows through it, hence the reason I am changing the setup.

    Thanks,

    Scott

    steve , another picture of the cooler . the hose going to the t at the pump inlet from the aft side is from the thermostat . the routing is from the tank outlet on top of the tank to the thermostat , from the thermostat thru the cooler to the pump inlet or the thermostat bypasses the cooler to the inlet of the pump . hope that helps
