Hi Ed, I'm suspecting that when I blocked off the oil filter mounting pad

the engine I did not connect both openings with a groove in the block off
block. I see that all block off pads have a groove connecting both ports.

forgot about it.
I'm getting oil through the remote oil filter and oil cooler to the oil
mount pad on the engine.
I'll do the correction today and let you know.
