Awesome! Not sure where I read that the S cooler wouldn't fit, but I probably got it wrong anyway. Thanks JFP, that is certainly a really easy solution. I haven't checked Pelican to see if they have any S coolers available. Can I assume that this component is free from wear issues, in which case I can buy a used part (hello Woody)?

Also, there's this, but not sure if it fits:

Large Oil to Water Heat Exchanger Kit - Parts & Upgrades - Products LN Engineering

Am I on target with my analysis that overheating is the primary issue, or should I still consider a deep sump or accusump?

RK, thanks for the article. That is a very elegant solution.
