Default Oil cooler take off direct from pump??

Hi! I was wondering, can the 'ports' (the ones with allen key bungs in) on the outside of the oil pump be used to feed and return from an oil cooler?
Cheers

they aint bungs mate, pressure relief valve, best with a sandwich plate on the oil filter, take it you will be tracking it as an oil cooler is a bad idea on a road car.

if you google a pic of the pump
the 'channel' at an angle is the PRV
the 2 vertical channels though....

No, you cannot use the two ports on the pump for a feed & return for an oil cooler, one side is suction from the oil pick up pipe.
