  Previous conversations here have alluded to a marginal amount of flow

parallel

plumbing if I were to use one of these coolers. Instead he recommended a
series installation in the radiator hose to the thermostat housing. Could
this parallel plumbing be a contributing factor in the cooling problems
that Paul mentioned earlier? If flow is marginal anyway and a significant
fraction of coolant is circulating through the oil cooler and not going
through the engine seems that would be a bad thing.

Mike;

Did you see the measured flow data I posted here just before everyone went
off to OSH?  It appears to be quite adequate to powers somewhere beyond 200
hp.  Check it out.

How was that measured Al? Was a flow meter used in a stock system or was that
flow in and out of buckets?  Got any pictures of the test setup?

I will look up both of those messages up and combine them into a chart.
