just slow right now with Holidays,

Randy the other day: I got your lifters rebuilt. The bearings looked great! Gotta check them for roundness tomorrow, then tie-bar and ship.

I asked him to use normal Tie bars without MK logo lol

Kip has cams, said he got them, have not heard back yet, PRI slowed things down also.. I am in no rush at all, making money to pay for other things like heads and intake work, that's been my focus..

I don't think it's a horrible idea at all, but everyone has opinions.

A thermostatically controlled oil cooler will suite the best of all scenario's... Same theory as water stats, or house thermostats for that matter. They are designed to self regulate thus making life easy... You again are trying to overthink sh!t. Just go with what works and call it a day? Don't stress yourself out. Don't.

maybe you should just copy some of the successful engine builds and stop trying to reinvent the wheel.

Otherwise you had to Union the lines together to bypass the cooler , was a PITA . If it was an Impound Race then you couldnt Union the lines but you could
open the hood and turn the valve , when you primed the oil and put heat in the engine.
