ditchman Posted January 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 The oilcooler bypass was made from the scrapped oilcooler pipework...(the good bits) as you remember the pipes were rotted out...but these bits are fine and will do the job.................when my internet speed is back (billing mth')...i will track down a oil pressure gauge to fit....

ditchman Posted January 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 went down to acle village this morning......and took the 2 heater pipes that are attatched to the rocker box on the engine....they go or form the loop from the thermo housing to the heater then back to the water pump...............there is a meadium size company thats makes stainless steel equipment for kitchens to the oil industry...and they will make a set of pipes up for the same price as i buy the rubbish ones for....so they will look nice polished up attatched to the rocker box...and they wont rot out ....the other ones rot out even tho' they have 60% antifreeze in them...they rot from the outside in .......... ...so it will look a bit fancy...
