Velox and Tim,
Thanks for your input. Tim, your photos raise another question: one line goes from the
oil filter adapter on the block to the remote
oil filter mount and the other line comes back from the mount to the adapter. The
oil cooler is not connected, so the two ports on the mount on the side away from the motor are plugged. If the oil goes from the motor to the filter mount, through the filter and back as it is, what would make it circulate through the cooler if I connected the cooler lines to the other two ports? Is there a plug somewhere on the inside of the mount that you remove to make the oil go through the cooler?
Rick,
I don't think the length of the tubes is an issue. I considered insulating the fitting at the front of the pan but A) I don't see a way to do it without it looking like crap, and B) even so, it's still the coolest oil and I want to know the temp of the hottest oil.
Thanks,
Lowell
