To Hell With Conversions

Over Thanksgiving I installed my NEW Empi 96 row cooler with fan. Fired the engine, added a quart and let the engine idle, with a couple of bursts now and then, for 30 mins ..... oil temp prolly stabilized at 190. Good deal .... test drive tomorrow or Saturday.

Saturday I spend making power from the relay board to provide switched power to the oil cooler fan. Got it all figured out and hooked up. Started engine and let it warm, blipped the throttle a couple of times hard and smoke arose everywhere.

Naw, not a blown engine. Oil Cooler (flat) became oil cooler arched and the seams decided to split. Spewed oil all over tranny, trunk bottom, HEs, right rear tire and brake.

Ah shit!

I owe one to JP Stein!
