So, if you run the cooler outlet back into the pan, aren't you bypassing the
filter and bearings/rotors?

===> Correct.  I didn't originally understand the way the system worked.
Several other listers have educated me, and I will be using the proper port
to return the oil.  Thanks for making sure though.

As for the welding comment, trust me, I will learn to use this nice new TIG
welder, but I'm on vacation trying to finish the bulk of the final
construction, so I just don't want to take the time to do it this week. My
wife is fearful that she'll start finding things welded all around the
house.  I've specifically been warned NOT to weld the front door shut :-)

Cheers,
Rusty
