Brian,
I mis-spoke when I said I flush the accusump with kerosene. I flush the =
accusump with cheapo oil but flush the sump lines with kerosene
When I dump the old oil I leave the electric valve open and run the =
pressure up with the Schrader valve in the other end to insure the =
piston is bottomed.
I put the cheap oil in the oil charger, remove the Schrader valve and =
connect it to the accusump completely fill the accusump with oil, re =
connect the sump line, put the Schrader valve back in and run the =
pressure up to 90 PSI and blow the oil back out into the pan while =
draining.
Then I=E2=80=99ll remove the Schrader valve again, connect my flusher to =
both ends of the sump line and circulate some kerosene. I still have =
cheapo oil in the charger,
I=E2=80=99ll run a quart of that through the sump line just to chase out =
any kerosene and move to the oil cooler and cooler lines. The last phase =
is with new VR-1,
Fully charge the accusump, fill the sump line & reconnect, re-fill the =
oil cooler and cooler lines and reconnect everything & done. I set up =
all my oil lines to make this easy. My oil cooler lines have an inline =
filter and both incoming and out going lines have a connection right on =
top of the L/F fender for easy access.
It sounds like a pain but a full oil change and flush takes me about an =
hour. I could make things even easier with dry break fittings but those =
things are really pricey so for now I=E2=80=99ll just spend the hour on =
a change. On a new engine everything will come apart and get hand =
cleaned.
Having that K & P filter really helps get tiny debris out as =
it=E2=80=99s generated.

Some years ago now I had a conversation with Lake Speed Jr at Brad Penn =
oils about viscosity and drove home the importance of maintaining oil =
quality. After that conversation I went all out in the way I treat my =
oiling system.
I run the K & P oil filter with cleanble element. I keep a spare filter =
element which I change out after every day of racing. The filter =
elements are FAA certified so good enough for me. So, after each day of =
racing I can see how my motor is doing in just a couple minutes. Oil is =
changed after two weekends. On each oil change I completely flush
all my oil lines, oil cooler and my accusump with kerosene with the =
handy recirculating flusher I made from a 5 gallon bucket and 12 volt =
fluid pump. I'll run a few quarts of cheap oil through just to make sure =
there is no kerosene left. After that I recharge the entire system with =
a pressurized oil fill can with VR-1.
This way I have all the old oil out and can refill the oil lines, cooler =
and accusump with fresh oil. Then I can re-pressurize the accusump and =
it's ready to go on the next engine start.
Overkill? maybe, but overkill is underated anyway. My motors last longer =
as a result of the extra work.

After cleaning out a filter that survived a bad bearing in my 1147 Spit =

Any bad stuff in the oil lines is gonna originate in the engine, so make =
the filter the first stop (and usually the shortest line). Then the =
cooler. And what nobody else mentioned, a check valve after the cooler =
before it goes back to the engine (keeps oil from flowing backwards into =
cooler, say on start-up.) My Accusump is plumbed into a Tee =
that=E2=80=99s just before the engine inlet =E2=80=93 what goes to the =
Accusump is filtered and cooled oil, and what comes from the Accusump =
goes only to the engine because the check valve prevents it going the =
other way.
=20
And yeah, coolers are cheap. If I=E2=80=99m concerned I=E2=80=99ll flush =
out the lines (self-service car wash does the trick, use high-pressure =
rinse), but buy a new cooler.

Yes, filter first. But what I have run into on some customers cars is =
the way the cooler lines run. Most coolers are mounted with the fittings =
on top. This does not permit the cooler to drain and when you change =
your oil, the cooler retains the old oil. You have to remove the cooler =
and at least one line to drain the old oil out. Try to set your cooler a =
little high with the fitting on the bottom so it can self drain. Of =
course, this means you must pre-lube the engine before startup. I also =
set my cooler behind the radiator and not in front. NASCAR experts say =
that the closer the oil and water temp are to each other, the better.

Filter first. Keeps the crud out of the cooker. Coolers are hard to =
clean. Good thought By Glen to replace the cooker on engine refreshing.=20
With a cooler in the system, also a good idea to prelube the engine with =
an Accusump upon cold start. Oil cooler lines are long and may drain =
upon standing a while.=20

I typically run an inspectable (Oberg) out of the engine before the =
cooler, and a second filter after the cooler.
It may be overkill but it eliminates the possibility of oil cooler trash =
getting in the engine.
I also replace the cooler @ every engine freshen-up.

>Yes, filter first. But what I have run into on some customers cars is =
the way the cooler lines run. Most coolers are mounted with the fittings =
on top. This does not permit the cooler to drain and when you change =
your oil, the cooler retains the old oil. You have to remove the cooler =
and at least one line to drain the old oil out. Try to set your cooler a =
little high with the fitting on the bottom so it can self drain. Of =
course, this means you must pre-lube the engine before startup. I also =
set my cooler behind the radiator and not in front. NASCAR experts say =
that the closer the oil and water temp are to each other, the =
better.<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=3DMsoNormal><span =
