Can you remove the oil cooler water lines?

[SexyGsX]

I have a 97 GSX and did a 6 bolt swap. I needed a water cooler line hard pipe for my 90 GSX so I switched out the hard lines and also the thermostat housing. Anyways after this there are not enough nipples on the 90 thermostat housing so I had to temporarily block off the coolant lines to the oil cooler. Can you run it without cooling the oil? I know you need to cool the oil, but I have to wait til I get the right thermostat housing with the extra line. Will it be ok to run without cooling the oil? Please and thanks!

if you got an external oil cooler then it would be fine, if you dont, Im not sure that it would be fine, since the puprose of blocking thoselines off is to have an externanl oil cooler, why dont you get a early 90 oil filter housing and go external? THe 90 doesnt have the coolant lines sticking out of it.

I would just get the correct thermostat housing and go from there. It would probally run you $5-20 at a U-pull yard. Best of luck.
