Here's a dumb oil cooling question
... I've heard mumblings that the higher capacity oil filter helps with oil temp. Is it possible to cool the oil filter without re-routing the oil into a radiator? I think a finned oil filter wouldn't provide much cooling but would something like a water jacket around an oil filter work then take the heated water to a radiator or would there not be enough heat transfer? Since its not re-routing the oil it wouldn't affect the warranty...

I've got these low profile vents...Thinking of mounting one on the bottom engine cover right under the sump..
The real solution is an oil cooler though...Hit the link in my Sig for the DIY |

Look up either Continental Cargo or PACE. I have worked on many trailers over the years for various friends and family. Are you going to open up the inlet on those vents? They look restrictive as they are now.
