1/ Some say block-filter-cooler-block.

2/ I prefer block-cooler-filter-block. This is because building a cooler involves a lot of soldering and I am always afarid there will be some solder balls that will get loose after time and get into motor.

I beleive OEM is method #1

I have exactly the same philosophy as Wobble. Especially true with used/reused coolers and lines.

Hmmm, warmer oil flows easier through filters, Ill stick with the tried and true Merc method of block, filter, cooler.
