Gruven "Crack-pipe" and oil coolers

[Pullstarter]

Howdy Guys,
Was browsing the 'tex and saw a few threads mention the crackpipe and how it makes it easier to install an after market oil cooler. Can anyone please enlighten me on how this setup works? Does it have an inlet and outlet built in for running a cooler etc?

Cheers
Simon

normally the stock crack pipe has a coolant line that runs to the stock oil cooler at the front of the engine. With the crack pipe most people just plug off that line which is pretty easy to do on the billet ones cos they are threaded. That allows them to run the oil cooler seperate from the engines cooling system

Ah i see, is there any pics or diagrams around that show how this is done? Thanks for the help Tim

Will do, I'm a bit mystified as to how the whole aftermarket oil cooler setup works, fittings and hoses wise anyways. If I find something I'll post it up, thanks Tim.
