oil cooler

Post by Lang Inder »

Is there much advantage of running an oil cooler set up because am currently rebuilding my l18e and considering installing one, is it hard to find a kit to suit?

Unless you're racing, or doing a bit of towing it'a probably not warranted.
If you do buy a kit, get one with a thermostat black in it. This causes the oil to bypass the oil cooler when it's not up to temp. Otherwise you might get oil scour of your bearings.
