It isn't quite a simple as that though, you need to divert the flow from the existing passages to the cooler at some point, either before or after the filter.

Cooler is just addition to what you have and before filter. All you need is jet to reduce entry to oil filter. Which is what pointy has.

Is an oil cooler going to give any discernable difference after "all" the added weight? How much benefit do you get out of an engine at optimum temp?

I no nothing about this, its meant as a genuine question - not knocking it one bit if it works :)

Hi, dont know how right this is but a friend of mine gets his oil stright from a guy at rock oil, he was talking to him about there development of there best oils like the xrp and fully syinthetic and how they are trying to get them as close to vegatable oils (sounds strange) and how these oils work better the hotter they get and some of the race teams and club racers have actually taken off there oil coolers and seen improvements in engine wear ? Just to add i dont think the weight you would be adding to your curvy would be worth and performance gain you would get.
