REFLECTOR: Franklin Oil Cooler Bypass Spring

[John Dibble]

Brian,

I sent you an email that I want one of your springs.  Let me know if you 
got it.  Thanks.

A detailed examination of the spring seems to indicate that the spring 
is actually the spring for the oil pressure by pass which is a bit 
longer and 4 X stronger than the cooler by pass spring.  I'm wondering 
if this spring was installed intentionally or by mistake.  If 
intentional, what was the reason.  Guess I'll find out when I replace 
with the correct spring.

John
