oil cooler thermostat line routing
#13
So tell me, you would rather filter hoses & cooler, then filter say a $15,000 engine.
If I ever had a engine grenade I would never be using the oiling system & cooler again, in the trash.
But if you build good chit , it don't break. Lesson #1

Filter last. So every piece of crap that is in a fitting, hose or oil cooler get caught before going into the motor. If the filter was first & say the oil cooler starts coming apart, there is no filter to catch it & gets pumped into engine. Also run oil flow opposite of water flow in the cooler.

I simply mentioned you could do it either way, most install it before.
'Most' doesn't mean it's the defenitive way.

Yes.
Filter - Tstat - Oil cooler.
See diagram - https://www.cantonracingproducts.com...PDF/22-480.pdf
Engine out to filter in and then the diagram.
As Mountainmadboy stated - make sure the oil cooler is routed so oil goes against water flow in cooler. Helps reduce temps a little more.

Our 40' skater came that way & I ripped it all out. Replumbed it they way we prefer.
So what happens when the oil thermostat breaks/ comes apart.. does it have to go all the way through the engine again to get to the filter?

Honestly I feel it's what ever an individual prefers and feels right by. We all have our own way of doing certain things and that's ok. Many would argue with me all day long cause I'm not even running coolers at all however it's only twin 600 hp 496's. That's only cause I rarely see temps over 225 and have to run long and hard to achieve that.
