Re: remote oil adapter
I have heard two different theories on oil
cooer/filter locations. Some propose going through the cooler first, to make
sure nothing in the cooler comes into the engine, and others (you included)
advocate filtering before the cooler. I am confused -- Tracy/Ed, what did you
do? Others?

I debated the issue; then took the
advice of our racing friend, Lynn Hanover. I see no reason the expect an
oil cooler to generate any sort of debris or contaminant. Of course I’d
suggest flushing it before install.

Gee;
Kevin, thanks a lot. How could you forget where such a beautiful piece of work
came from?
It
is not an oil filter adapter, it is a filter bypass block; which means that it
replaces the filter attachment block on the engine so you came put an adapter
and larger filter somewhere upstream. It is good to put the filter upstream
from the cooler to reduce possible sludge buildup in the cooler (assuming we
should be so lucky to fly our planes long enough for this to happen). I got a
remote dual filter mount from Racing Beat, but Earl’s sells the same
thing. It comes in either dual or single filter.
