[TR] TR3 oil cooler

[Tony Drews]

The ones that screw on in place of the oil filter will send lower 
pressure to the cooler than the sandwich plate ones.  The sandwich 
plate is before the pressure relief valve and the oil filter side is 
after the sandwich plate.  But, if you install the oil filter 
replacement one you'll need a remote oil filter unless it has 
provision for the oil filter built in.  I like the Canton Mecca 
remote ones - 8 micron, no bypass, easy to replace the element (but a 
bit messy).

The output from the oil pump can easily exceed 100 psi cold, and some 
folks have split coolers with the sandwich plate arrangement - many 
others have operated it successfully though.
