Is an external oil cooler required for a /6 conversion? The Palma Green car needs a bit of work prior to the install, so we have a bit of time. Newly rebuilt 2.7 will be fit with Webers and driven on the street only.

I don't have one on my 2.7, stock engine with CIS. Never even hints of getting too warm, even on a 1,000 drive from lower Kalifornia home.
I don't like external coolers if they are not needed. More stuff to drain at oil change time, more stuff to leak over time etc. You can always add one later if you see temps running on the toasty side. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |

Where is the best place to obtain the temp (location of highest temp). maybe on the inlet line to the cooler? |

I also live in a very mild climate area. Had to install T-Stat and flaps on my Bug because it would take forever to warm up and even then, still not get hot enough to burn all the water out of the oil (think foamy oil cap) = yuck. |
