So is the oil filter top a better spot than the cooler line? I'm thinking yes if those lines are temp controlled. And thanks for that possibility - I probably wouldn't have thought of that. I can just drill and tap for that, I think. Worst case is I'll have a lump welded on to make a thick spot for that.
