Plumbing oil cooler and remote
Finally ready to install new oil lines on fresh rebuilds. I was thinking of running lines from filter adapter, to oil cooler, to filter remote, back to block. Is this correct, or should I go to filter, cooler, back to block?
Thanks for any suggestions, BC

Also, my thoughts are I'd want the oil filter after the cooler in case the cooler drops something into the oil. Is it better for the filter to get the oil while it's still hot so it lowers the flow pressure on the filter or something? I run the big K&N 3002 filter, is it an issue?
I'd really love to hear about that reverse flow thingy though.
Cheers,
John

The main reason for the filter before the cooler is to try to keep from contaminating the cooler in the case of engine destruction or even normal engine wear particles building up. And it no doubt helps to have hot oil going through the filter instead of 'cooled' oil.

Probably a simple answer to this question i just haven't thought of yet but, Why?
