My oil temps seem to climb to 250 on a really hot day when running around 70+mph for fifteen or twenty minutes. My head temps seem to stay settled just under or right at 350. Which why I'm checking around if anyone can recommend a place or person to check with for a kit. I've read the pelican artical on it but most of the parts listed have outdated part numbers etc. Any suggestions?

Advise about used oil coolers should be taken. Any used cooler can contain contamination trapped in the turbulater plates that can come out later and wipe out an engine.
I have several new plate and fin coolers that were proto types from when I worked at Hayden Automotive. They could not sell them because they did not have the logo on them. They are just like the Setrab BAT, or Volvo coolers. Also have sandwich adapters. I prefer to mount them in the engine compartment where they get air flow from the engine fan. The affect on the inlet air temp is small. I dropped the oil temp on a 1.8L by 30 dregees and it never broke 210 on a 7% climb floored at 80 MPH If you or others are interested PM me and we can talk price. Three sizes. All are 38mm thick, 11 inches long and up to 11 inched high. Bruce |
