Can you bypass the oil cooler?
Can you bypass the oil cooler?
you do not need a cooler. You can always bypass an OEM oil cooling system and install an aftermarket system but in your circumstances if it is properly installed, the OEM system is fine. Transmission oil coolers can leak into the coolant, too, so be sure that is not the issue.
Why is the oil filter bypassed when the oil is cold and thick?
One example is when you start the motor when cold. The oil is thick and does not pass easily through the filtration medium, thus building up to a high pressure drop. So, the bypass valve opens to prevent oil-starvation of the motor.
Where is the oil filter located on a Ford pickup?
Here are a couple of Milodon oilpump pickups: one for their replacement pan (right) and one for their deep pan (left). The pickups feature larger-than-stock-diameter thickwalled tubes, which are precision bent. The FE oil filter mounts to an aluminum casting, which is bolted to the front driver side of the engine block.
How does the bypass Spring work in a Ford engine?
The bypass spring serves as the effective limiter for peak oil pressure when the engine is cold or at high RPM. The cumulative area of all bearing and valvetrain clearances in the engine defines the pressure at any time below peak, such as at idle.

Where is the best place to tap into the oil cooler?
The best place to tap into the oil supply system is at the oil filter. This is because the filter is just after the oil pump so the oil supply will have adequate pressure to move through the lines and cooler efficiently.

Where is the oil pump located on a FE engine?
The FE engine uses a gerotorstyle oil pump. It’s mounted to the front left corner of the engine block inside the oil pan. The distributor drives the pump through a 1/4-inch hex-ended intermediate shaft. A pressure bypass spool valve is integral to the pump, and a selective spring controls maximum pressure.
What should the oil pressure be on a Ford FE engine?
FE engines are noted for having fairly low-idle oil pressure, and therefore a hot idle reading of 15 to 25 pounds is common with standard-volume pumps.
