What if I reconnected the oil pipes to the coolers the wrong way around. That would cause a restriction, wouldn't it? The oil comes OUT of the front housing near the alternator pulley, then into one cooler, on to the other cooler, then back to the filter block at the back (pusher) of the engine. The [stock 3rd gen] oil coolers have a thermostat type device on one port. Is that the in port or the out port? John (starting to think positive already)
