Have a modified RX7 Oil Cooler that came with the car which was in process of a 6 conversion. Hoses are run to the engine bay ready to hook up to thermostat. Does anyone know if it matters if the oil enters from the top of cooler or bottom or does it really matter? Internal Tank thermostat is removed already I am going to run a Mocal. Appreciate the input especially from anyone actually running one. Thanks!

Perhaps the thermostat temperature setting is in the wrong range for an aircooled motor. Also, it's better to have the thermostat located closer to the engine heat source. That seems to be the majority opinion.
