I am rebuilding an O-320 for installation in my RV-6. The engine came from a twin commanche and it had -6 AN fittings for the oil cooler lines. I acquired new AN fittings and hoses in this size for the oil cooler and remote oil filter that I am installing. Today I noticed that Van's plans suggested -8 lines for the oil cooler and that is consistent with what I have seen in my automotive experience.
Are -6 lines adequate for this application? will I cause starvation or just limited oil flow through the cooler? Can this reduce my ability to cool the oil?
Curious others opinions with more experience than I.
Thanks for any assistance that you can provide.
