After about 20 min of freeway driving under nromal conditions my oil is getting to hot on my 2.0 - 4 now 2056. As a result I've looked at a number of ideas for external cooling in the rear and feel that the best way is really up front though don't realy want to cut into the trunk area. I'm considering removing the fog lights and installing a oil cooler in each of the fog light locations and venting to the rear of the front tires. I'm just in the thought stage after talking with some of the guys at Jeffs celebration Saturday. I realy like the way Andy has done his though just can't bring myself to cut into my new paint or give up my trunk area besides I want to keep her a bit stock looking so I've been looking at a number post here of the set ups in the rear and worry about the efficiency in an area that is heated by the engine, exhaust, and blacktop though certainly less $$ I'm sure. Has any one successfully done this or seen it before? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

I bought this engine already built with about 1500 miles on it my knowledge or lack of knowledge is why I bought the engine complete and had it installed. I don't know anything about what the Jets are only that I have Webers 40. When I first got the car back the with the new engine it was very aggressive and burning way too much gas to me, you could smell the unburned gas even on my clothes so the guy at the shop determened that he should lean them down. I honestly like the way it power wise was when it was burning too much gas but lack of knowledge leaves me a bit dumb in reality.
I did do an oil change and went with a different oil. |
