I could order the oil cooler and then install it when I do the valves. I’ll read up on them tonight.

It was necessary on the Hawk because of the higher compression ratio. It really extends the oil life which in turns extends the engine life. I was checking the oil yesterday and with 500 miles on it the oil hasn't changed color. It's still a nice golden brown. Before I installed an oil cooler on my hawk the oil would be black at 500 miles and this was before I did the head work. I think I paid under $60 for mine. I think it's worth it. My Hawk has over 7800 miles on it. I ran a bore scope in it about a month ago just for the heck of it and didn't see any signs of wear or scaring.
