Subject: Re: Oil cooler for 4.5 engine
Hi Bill,
I think you have got good advice from Julian, A full flow filter is a good addition and essential if on shell bearings. Don't worry about low oil pressure on a tired engine, its oil flow you want to cool and lubricate. I recall a chap boasting about huge oil pressure on his Derby Bentley till I told him that that the crank oil ways must be almost full of sludge which they were. The Motor trade loved the Oil Pressure light when it replaced the gauge as it goes out at a hint of psi. If you had an oil flow meter you would have no worries.
