I am seeing 240-250 degree oil temps. I'm interested in additional oil cooling above the S engine mount cooler.

Just curious to see what your post track idle pressures are? I've seen mine drop below 15psi...

I snapped my temp sender post (ugh!!! and I am reordering a sender) so I don't have temp values yet).

To answer your question I see 20 on the head and 25 on the sump.

My biggest problem was the original pressure relief 100PSI. It popped occasionally when the engine is cold UGH!!! finally put in a 125 PSI relief. I had to pull the carpet from the trunk.

Thanks -- what AN hose sizes are you guys using for oil cooler/accusump/remote filter?

How about for tranny cooler?

Working on circling my Sears catalog....

thanks,

Mine are size 10 braided stainless. that is 5/8" I believe. Locally available from a speed shop in the area and oddly our PepBoys. They have a good selection of fittings also

Merci Beaucoup.....

I was guessing -10.... Does PepBoys have the fittings as well?

All my speedshops are on the other side of town and only M-F 10-6 type hours :-(

So I usually have to order and hope I've got it right.

thanks,

-10AN for Accusump/remote filter
-8AN for Tranny Cooler.

I use Aeroquip startlite hose rather than braided, as its easier to inspect, easier to work with and saves weight.
