Jack,
 
David Nock hit part of the nail on the head.  The loops are there to stop 
pulsations, either fast or slow.  The fast pulsations from the oil pump can be 
smoothed out also the slow pulsations from the heating and cooling of the oil 
temperature will also be "smoothed" out.  Actually the heating and cooling can 
be called expansion and contraction.  This little engineering design was 
dreamed up back in the 1800s or earlier when steam engines were being developed 
more and being used in more than trains and ships.
 
These loops should be an all Austin-Healeys.
