So it looks like I'll need to change out a FMOC on an SA. Just wondering if there is anything specific I'll need to do (like pre-fill the cooler or burp the system) or can I just replace the cooler / lines and insure there is enough oil to let the pump fill the circuit?

 

i would say do the latter.

 

It would be nice to prefill the cooler before startup but the issue is that until the cooler is warm, the oil cooler T-stat is in bypass mode. I can't think of any way to pouring oil in the lower hole and then putting the cooler on the car without making a mess.

What I do is just put 5 qts in pan and then check the level after a goof heat cycle. I also like to convert to -10AN fittings and new -10an nylon brained PTFE hose.

This kit is enough to do two cars (minus the 16mm and 18mm adapters)
