<p>I can't identify in and out, but I have a theory on the
blowouts. Jack experienced that with a remote filter (which was
before the cooler), and discovered that the plumbing was such that
the oil pressure relief valve was AFTER the filter / cooler
plumbing. With a cold engine and high viscosity oil, the oil
pressure in the lines was very high.</p>

List,
<div class=""><br class="">
<div class="">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)
replacing the oil cooler is a requirement.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">

<div class="">So I did replace the oil cooler after blowing up
the engine, but TWICE I’ve had them ($160 Earl’s oil coolers)
blow out and leak all over the engine bay when doing a test
and tune day at the track. I’m on my third oil cooler and
trying to reduce the oil pressure that on my gage says 85-90
psi to see if that is what is causing the coolers to leak,
although they are rated at 150 psi or more. I put an extra
copper washer on the oil pressure relief valve but I’m not
sure what is really causing two oil coolers to blow out. Bad
luck? Coincidence? Bad parts? I’m getting tired of
oiling/cleaning my engine bay. I’ll find out 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 the next track day could be a couple more
months.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">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 coming OUT of engine
from the right or left fitting in the picture. There are
absolutely no markings or clues to tell me.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Also do most of you measure oil temp on the oil
coming out or going into the engine?</div>

<div class="">Thanks</div>

For those of you running a remote oil cooler and
remote oil filter do you run the hose coming OUT of
the engine into the cooler first or the filter
first? Just wanted to see how and why (if there’s a
reason) most run their lines.<br class="">
<br class="">
Thanks<br class="">
