Oil cooler Install

thats doesn't help much that is just to check oil pressure and i'm scared if you take oil from there then you will be starving oil from somewhere in the motor. can you take some more pictures of the motor it's self so maybe we can see what the setup is like.

Okay i will do that... and yes i was thinking the same thing about losing pressure...when i open that chrome cap it goes into a round oil journal that leads all the way tto the other side of the motor ....that area is pressurized with oil and the oil goes around the triangle o-rings at the base up the studs to the head....i wonder if there is oil pressure that goes into the bottom also for the rollerbearings or if the pump is only for the top end. i will get some pictures.
 
i looked at the pics and i can honestly say i have no idea. You i think are the firt person on this site that has tried or wants to install a oil cooler on your 400. what is the bolt the sits right behind the starter? maybey you can take oil from that? and then just run it back to your clutch cover or sumtin? i have no idea. you may need to fully take the motor apart and figure out how the oil runs through it?


sorry i can't help all i can say is keep it on the street or if in dirt don't run it at WOT.

ok i see...thanks for your time anyways.

That bolt behind the starter cover is just a shift cam stopper theres a spring with a ball on the end under that..and i know how the oil works, its pumped from the pan and pushed directly into the oil filter cavitie then pushed into the bearings also into the oil journal that goes into the heads and that chrome nut on the end of the cover opens up that oil journal to the heads...not sure what its there for but thats where that is.

I was thinkin i could get oil from that bolt on the oil filter cover but i dont know how its done.
 
"thats why you need a adapter and you can't buy one they are rare."
Ah so. I'm looking for just such an item for the cooler I'd like to mount to my GS550L. Any ideas for getting one?
