I have heard this advice before, but now I have to ask.
If the oil passes through the oil filter after passing through the oil
cooler, why do you care about the odd particle or flake getting released
from the oil cooler innards.? Wont it get trapped in the oil filter?
My knowledge is quite narrow, but it seems that all the wet sump BMC engines
I have seen are plumbed this way.
