How did you run your oil lines?, The good and the bad...... Options

[PRS914-6]

I'm getting closer to installing my -6 oil cooler and lines. I have seen numerous ways of running the lines incl through the longs, under the rockers etc. but I have not decided yet. If you would comment on how you ran your lines and the positive and negatives of the end results, it would make a good thread and go perfect with the recent oil cooler thread.. Pictures would be helpful.

Part of this thread should include thermostats. Personally, I don't like to pump real cold oil all the way to the front of the car and back so I will mount mine on the firewall. In addition, it would take longer for the oil temp to get up due to the increased volume of 20 feet of hose. I do notice that lot's of people are mounting the thermostats in the front by the cooler. What am I missing here? There must be another reason for that......Please explain.


John, again nice work and well thought out for the spare tire use, something I would not go without. (I had 4 flats in 6 months with my 911)

I have already purchased the Getty fiberglass pieces that look like your metal pieces in the front but due to the size of my big cooler, I would have to hack it to death.
