Won't that stop oil going through the filter when the engine is cold, with a remote mounted filter? Maybe I missed it, but I didn't see separate hoses for that. Or did you mean the bracket that the filter mounts to?
The Oil filter gets constant flow, the thermostat controls the flow rate through the 12 row cooler. I've been using this set up for the last 14 Yearsand works very well.
my first thought was like mikes. with two lines from the sandwich plates which i assume go to the remote filter, then the filter is thermostatically controlled to.
I have highlighted it for you, eurospec have there own website, but generally do business thro agents like Jabbasport. yes the do a 1.8 version
If you are changing the crank what else are you doing to the KR Block ? Re-bore ? personally i would fit an ABF or 9A Block
Brookster do not put the trigger wheel on the inside of the block, use an external one. I've heard of several exploding over time and mullering the inside of the engine.
