I Think Blow by is directly linked to oil heat on Isuzu engines because they produce more power compared to other makes any comments for the best way to mount a Oil cooler?

In standard trim the isuzu doesnt make any more power than other makes. Blowby is common on isuzu engines but is more a result of the chrome liners being hard to bed in correctly. If the engine has correct compression but has blowby there is little that can be done to fix the blowby although experimenting with different oils can help.
The only reason that blowby is a problem is that the fumes that are recycled back into the engine carry a lot of oil which is then burned and lost. This can be reduced by fitting a catch can which drains this oil back into the sump.
Fitting a oil cooler is a good idea even though the engine already has a water to oil cooler built into the oil filter housing. Easiest place to pick up an oil line would be the drain from the turbo.
