I don't have one of those adapters handy but I suspect that the fitting on=
the right is oil out, the clean oil goes in the center.90 psi is too high =
but shouldn't blow out the cooler.The pressure is relieved before it leaves=
the engine so the pressure on the gauge should reflect the actual pressure=
in the system; you should see any pressure spikes
Re oil temp, I do as most, pick it up out of the sump, that's the heat that=
the engine is making.

Subject: [Fot] Was: Oil Cooler or Oil filter first? Now how to ID flow out =
the adapter?
List,
Thanks to all who responded about this. The consensus was to go to the oil =
filter first to catch as much debris as possible before it collects in the =
oil cooler. Everyone said with an exploded engine (like I experienced) repl=
acing the oil cooler is a requirement.
So I did replace the oil cooler after blowing up the engine, but TWICE I=E2=
=80=99ve had them ($160 Earl=E2=80=99s oil coolers) blow out and leak all o=
ver the engine bay when doing a test and tune day at the track. I=E2=80=99m=
on my third oil cooler and trying to reduce the oil pressure that on my ga=
ge says 85-90 psi to see if that is what is causing the coolers to leak, al=
though they are rated at 150 psi or more. I put an extra copper washer on t=
he oil pressure relief valve but I=E2=80=99m not sure what is really causin=
g two oil coolers to blow out. Bad luck? Coincidence? Bad parts? =C2=A0I=E2=
=80=99m getting tired of oiling/cleaning my engine bay. I=E2=80=99ll find o=
ut if my washers help on the next track day cause it has happened after 4-5=
laps the last two times when I was breaking in new rings. Unfortunately th=
e next track day could be a couple more months.
So the next question I have is how to know which way the flow is out of the=
adapter on the engine. See pic below and please tell me if the oil is comi=
ng OUT of engine from the right or left fitting in the picture. There are a=
bsolutely no markings or clues to tell me.
Also do most of you measure oil temp on the oil coming out or going into th=
e engine?
ThanksBud
