the ol' switcheroo

The oil cooler line routing was rubbing me the wrong way...

So pretty much swapped over everything input/output wise. messy

Ended up like this...As there are no swivel fittings you're pretty much contorted to how the lines want to be when its all snugged up...

However i wanted to go top feed with the drain below and the loop should theoretically keep some oil level height in the radiator...

would a bottom to top fill and drain be better...probably...however I can't be f'd trying to reroute the lines again.

any oil that was coming out was not fresh so that suggests to me there was circulation and it might just take time to work itself out...

I might look for a barb end banjo fitting to cut down the long line to be the short end and run the screen housing line up to the top of the radiator at some stage...

anyone perhaps know what the ID on the pipes are perchance?
