Ah I see, yes you will need to make sure your thermostat is plumbed in the correct way round, otherwise It probobly wont work.. Sorry, I don't know which way the oil flows round the stock cooler..

What size if the lines

Hi, don't want to rain on your joy,but if those lines are -8 you may have a problem. I made some lines, -8, and routed them to the same location as yours. Long story short, I had a 30mm pump and also a HP-1 filter, my low oil light stayed on very dimly. Well, that low oil light was true, I finally had a intake valve seized. Back fired enough to start a fire on the air clearer, burnt my loom. If I may suggest use a -6 line, the length will drop your pressure. It caused me a hell of a problem, with the wiring and all.

Just trying to help

If oil seems to be "unstoppable" from threaded joints... try green Loctite on them.. works wonders..

Cheers,

Brian
