Well boys and girls our original story line to this thread has a happy ending. I started the monster up, this time with a charged battery, the timing right, and the
oil flowing the right way..... The motor sounded ferocious as ever no ticks, no unusual sounds AND I have 75psi at 2,000 rpm. So I think I am good to go. Thank you all for your help.
I stand corrected on the dual
oil cooler running in series. I looked at the old filter and as usual, smarter minds prevail.
However, I stand by my opinion that a bigger hose is better.
