1. T peice it into the existing hose going from the top of the rad, to the top of the header tank.

2. you could either take the sandwich place out from the oil filer housing and n0ot run one.......or just mount the cooler in with a bit of fondling.

3. dunno mate :-/

3. Its up to you mate. If you've had the head off and looked down the bores for signs of scoring and there anr't any, then I would personally say dont bother.

Cheaper way to test for cylinder integrity is get someone to drive behind you; any blue smoke between gearchanges (when engine hot) means that you need to revamp the valve gear. Then borrow a compression tester and test each cylinder?
