Vance, thank you sir! It's kind of like a custom show bike to me. My build area is in the back of my shop, air conditioned, so I go in and max out on one detail at a time.
Semier, that's a dam good thought. That's why many sets of eyes are a good thing. Right off the top of my head, I'm thinking the cooler being the lowest point of the oil system, the supply/return lines SHOULD remain full of oil, preventing air to enter the cooler. I need to think about this a bit. THANKS man.
