Al, no I do not measure “before and after”; it’s
measured at block output near standard oil filter pedestal and is feed to PSRU
input … see attached (this photo shows the first cooler input,
the pressure sender and the return line from second cooler) … if I understand
the oil flow correctly, this is after the coolers.
My max oil pressure was 80 psi when I had one cooler and is
still max 80 psi with 2 coolers – typical operating pressure is 75 psi at
5500 rpm.

Mark, I have two of the
DB-30416, single-pass coolers … no measureable pressure drop with 2 in
series … I’m seeing 80 psi max with the 13B.

What do you mean “ . … no measurable pressure
drop”? Are you measuring pressure before and after the 2 coolers?
