Putting oil cooler lines back in...

will this help in keeping the eng running cooler? And where are the inlet/outlet for it? I got the cooler with the car but am not sure where the lines go to on the rad. Car runs at about 190 to 220, I know that is a normal range but I believe that your system should operate in the fan's operating temp range in anything below 80 deg outside temp. I have the fans coming on at 184, off at 174 with a 160 stat. I still want to go to a dual fan set up but if the oil cooler will get the job done then I'll put it back on.

Thanks

I thought that was where the factory transmission cooler lines went?

Motor oil cooler or tranny oil cooler? I'm still confused. Maybe i better go take a closer look at my car, especially since when the heater core developed a leak it was not replaced and all of the heater vacumn system was left off the car by the previous owner! Does this mean my oil cooler system is not functioning?

Just exactly where is the oil cooler? Internal in rad, or an extenal cooler, and how is it tied together with the heater hose system?
