That really helped me a lot. My pump is slightly different as it has only one inlet but the one way valve does screw straight in. Now my next problem, any ideas on where I can find an adapter to fit on the end of the one way valve that will enable an AN fitting to be used? Am I correct in thinking that there is no thermostatically controlled by-pass valve fitted. If anybody has fitted an oil cooler how do you control oil flow to the cooler? How do you clean the oil screen chamber?

You can just leave it open, or you can use it to drive a tach. UMA instruments make (but do not advertise) a tach generator for the LOM drive. It is designed to operate their 3 1/8" tach with hour meter. I can show you a picture of a spare pump that I have which shows the oil ports: Notice that you can use either of two inlets. The non-return valve I identified in your earlier posting screws into this. The oil inlet hose then attached to that valve. A standard American oil temp probe will screw into the fitting on the botton of the oil screen chamber.

Any chance that someone could describe where the oil inlet is located? If I am not using the tach drive how do I cover it up?

It's the tach drive.
