greetings, citizens. pleasure to be here ^^
[actually, its super-frustrating to be here - but i'm glad to meet you folks]

so i made liberal use of the search function, and i couldnt find this issue in the thread archives. am i the first person this has ever happened to? the plate is a thermochem, the cooler is off an '84 cb700sc. lines are cinched tight. no leaks. and im getting positive pressure through the system. at first i thought maybe i welded the eyelet too low (level with the horn) and the cooler was blocking some air to the cylinder fins - but the temp ROCKETED up. i couldnt get a half block without feeling the oil pressure start to plummet and i turned it off.
btw, how much extra oil do i need after the cooler install?
