RE: Check valve for oil cool?

The oil filter should be taking care of that job. There's a
"Anti-Drainback" valve in most every oil filter (if not all).

Just curious, where/how did you install the oil cooler or is this just a
"sandwich block" style that sits between the filter and block?

I'm resending this, i sent it from work and I don't think it went to
DML......

I installed an oil cooler, now its takes about 2sec. when I start up the
eng. before the oil pressure comes up. I would like to put a check valve in
the oil line because I believe the oil drains out of the cooler during the
Eng. being shut down. Any body knows where one can be gotten? The temp.
gauge stays well below 210 mark now. I'm going to being pulling the trailer
next week and that will be the real test. Time will tell.....
