I thought I'd share some of the details of the new remote oil filter and oil cooler parts I'm putting together. I previously had a remote oil filter and cooler setup that had been in my 242 for probably 10 years, but it was made with Summit Racing rubber oil hose and parts using pipe thread nipples and hose clamps. It worked fine until it didn't. The oil hose began to harden and I had been finding leaks due to the clamped connections loosening because of shrinkage. So an upgrade is in order. New hoses and hose fitting are all Aeroquip Socketless (push-on). And all push-on locations will also get Oetiker pinch clamps for added security.
There is something I found with the original B21FT oil cooler sandwich adapter (thermostat housing) that I'm puzzled with. I'll share that first and maybe someone has a better understanding of it.
Here are some pics of the original Volvo adapter. I'll get to the puzzlement in a sec.
edit: the second pic . . . that temp marked on there says 75 degrees.
