I thought that the oil feed to the oil cooler went to the top bung and the return was on the bottom. At least that is how I remember it being for my FC oil cooler.

BINGO

its a great diagram for those who dont know whats the oil path around the engine, kinda weird they screwed up with the oil cooler lines.

Further on, when they explain the internal oil cooler bypass, they do it right

Its not all that uncommon. I have found many spelling errors and whatnot in the factory manuals. It is kind of weird they messed up the technical operation though.

Sterling mentioned its a pre-79 rotary. Did they have their lines routed differently?

...I only mentioned that because the carby is pre '79.

I didn't know about the oil path.

A person can only hold so much information in their head at one time. Sterling's is full of Nikki at the moment... His wife has to dress him on most mornings from what I've heard...
