A note to old forum members...
I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...
Returning Visitors
If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Oil cooler on a 400-500 base

Hi everyone I'm toying with the idea of an oil cooler for my 540 project.

I'm just undecided on the way to go.

Here are a few thoughts

1 tap into the oil filter cavity and run an external filter and the cooler inline.
2 Tap into the case sump and use an electric pump to circulate the oil when it hits a certain temp.

3 Use a gs500 case with the provisions in it already.

I know the gs500E have a special pan with two connections for a cooler but I can't find a picture of the case its self. I know the pan is slightly different but the case must also be machined to match, so I can't see just using the pan.

I'm open to ideas. And I'd appreciate any pictures of a 500e case.

Thanks.
