Kim being the sweetie she is brought up the replacement oil cooler kit Moss sent up last week after discovering their error. Installation was fairly basic, after I managed to get the old bypass hose off. I had to remove the oil pressure gauge hose (which is leaking, gotta replace that) and the distributor cap in order to get enough purchase on the nut. Note that you must put the grommets on the hoses and then feed them through the radiator shroud and into place. Secured the hoses and put the rubber straps in place and fired it up to look for leaks. None were found and as it was a nice (if windy) day today a test drive was in order, we picked up some lunch to go and drove over to Point Grey for a nice meal overlooking the ocean. Great improvements in pressure! I was running about 14/32 psi at idle/3000 r.p.m. before when the engine was really hot, now its running 30/50 thats about a 50% gain not bad at all! I'm very pleased with the results. Coming up next (next paycheque that is) we have a caliper rebuild, and hopefully I can tackle the front suspension finally. Need to get a quote on a set of minilite replicas all around too (I can dream can't I?), it would be nice to make a cosmetic improvement for a change ;-)
