Bob,
One other comment........There is some difference of opinion among the group
whether connecting coolers (oil or coolent) in series (as you propose) or in
parallel is the most efficient method.........We have group members currently
flying with both methods........Most that I am aware of that use both methods
are for coolent systems as not many are using two oil coolers........I personally
lean toward a parallel coolent system........Any comments from others in the
group about this question would be welcome as I know we have several with
experience or training in this area !! What would be most efficient for one
system should probably apply to the other.......IMHO

Bob,
I think you should have made the lines larger to help lower presure drop in the long lines. I understand that the extra oil in the lines will be heavy but the pressure drop would be a tradeoff that I wouldn't want to make.

I'm running two oil coolers in the Spitfire. Due to the lengthe of the lines and volume of the two coolers I reduced my oil lines to AN8 (I think stock they were 10?) Now, before I close everything up I'm having second guessing. My total line length will be around 12'. I had planned on running the lines to one oil cooler, then the other, then back to the motor.
Any comments?
