I am going to use an stock RX-7 Oil Cooler.  The cooler has a built in bypass valve
which I have removed and have blocked the bypass path by using a small bolt,
washers, nut and locktite.  It is very simple to do.  I believe by removing the
bypass valve you eliminate a single point of failure and you gain more flow through
the cooler. The valve appears to restrict the flow even when it is not in the
bypass mode.
