I can't answer that one for sure, been out of air cooled for a while,  but that is one hefty pump.

Dear list

I am getting rid off my oil cooler by using a oil bypass with a cooler
mounted in the front.

There's an extra 16 feet hose for the oil to go to the front .

Should I use a stock oil pump or a heavy duty one ?

I came across this heavy duty one on aircooled.net bor my type of engine
(vanago air-cooled 1983)

Any advise ?

Thanks
