502 Oil System
I have a 95 502 MPI mag and would like to put the oil filter back on the block and use the 2 block taps for my oil cooler. Anybody running this type of system ? I do have oil temp problems when running wide open with the current factory system. Does anybody know what relief valves I should use or block off ? I would like to keep the oil going through the cooler and filter at all times.

The oil line plumbing in the block on the Gen V and Gen VI is not large enough to flow enough oil... If you are having oil temp problems.. again do a search on the subject.. There are some very good threads on this..
Answers to where to monitor your oil temp and oil coolers and all of that.. There is a wealth of knowledge in this board..
Good luck..

Do not use the "cooler" ports on the block. They are too small (3/8"npt) for marine use. You need at least 1/2" lines and fittings for you oil system.
I agree with Mr Gadgets.....Do a search on this subject. Lots of info!!
