With a box of fittings in hand we started running pipe today. Takes a while to get your head around where they need to run to avoid the next one and what direction to make the bend (yah had to cut a couple of bends off) . One end is flared but the ends at the valve had to be silver soldered on, the valve is too small for the flare nuts to clear each other.
Those steel pipes are going to help a lot with cooling the oil. I was getting ready to start hammering on you again about not posting your progress.
Looks really professional so far. Great job.

Much better than hose would, you see a lot of equipment thats all hose then add an oil cooler. Plus the tubing was free and the flared ends are a lot cheaper than the crimp on hose ends.
Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.

How 'bout a keyway broach? If you have a arbor press (preferred) or a hydraulic press you can use a broach.
