I have a RX7 Turbo oil cooler that I was using and blowing the oil filter seal with and I removed the thermostat to bypass it.

I met a Rich (nice GT5) at Gingerman the other day and he was running one too with the thermostate.

Question: Anyone else running this set up?
Which port is the in and the out (one on side or one on end?

Could oil coolers plumbed wrong on the in and out actually create enough back preasure to blow a seal?

The general use for the RX-7 cooler is to remove the thermostat and weld in AN fittings. At that point, there is no "in" and "out" port, it's just like all other oil coolers.... Even with the T-stat, it's just a bypass when the oil is cold.
