Those barbed hoses with clamps are the worst. After dumping two quarts of oil in the drive way on two different occasions I went over to West Sac. to where they repair big trucks. For under $30 I eliminated all hose clamped lines, and replaced them with High pressure hydralic line using AN-8 (used on A/C) fittings and swedged on ends. A couple of years later I eliminated the whole damn mess and went back to stock. I have found that an external cooler won't help overheating, just delay reaching overheated, by virtue of there being more oil to heat. I have also found that an oilcooler on a new strong well running engine is a waist, takes motor longer to warm up, leaks. hoses in the way. Most of the stuff in the mags are there because they sell, they don't give a ship about your engine. Chris
