Hi Dan and Skip,

Didn't want to steal your thread, so I started a new one to answer your questions.

Please explain.

I installed a dry sump system from CB Performance to my Bradley several years ago. I had the oil filter in the inlet line to the pump and am experiencing a partial loss of oil pressure when the oil gets up to temperature.

So I decided to re-plumb the system according to the diagram shown below, wrap my exhaust system, and increase the system relief pressure.

And while I'm at it, I will also reroute the pressure and return lines for the fuel injection and relocate the fuel pump.

Gary Hammond,

Very interesting heat exchangers. Did you make that yourself?

Hi MJ.

Yeah, I made these myself. They have equal length tubes into a common chamber on each side, with a baffled muffler on the outlet. The heat tube goes through the common chambers to pick up the heat. I just recently wrapped the entire exhaust system with heat wrap to reduce the heat loss from radiation when I re-plumbed the oil lines.

Here's how it looks now. Oil pressure is back to normal and oil and head temps are reduced as well. ;D

Gary Hammond,
