Does it matter which pipe from the oil cooler goes to the top rad hose??

Just been thinking maybe my oil cooler is plumbed in the wrong way round, i.e hot water is coming from the top of the rad?

On Mine the bottom hose of the oil cooler connects with the top hose from the rad....


The top hose from the cooler connects straight into the engine block below the carbs

Cheers, i looked at mine last night, and i think its that way round but i can't remember now. Will check again tonight. Have you used you car in anger on track, as mine is fine on the road?

Im fairly sure the engine has been hammered before on track and road, but not by my doing..

It has only been in the chassis for 3 days.....just the wiring to do and its ready to go
