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 have a 2.2 with S piston and Mod-Solex cams. And only stock engine cooler. Never goes above 210 even when pounding on it to 7000 redline. My gauge is pretty close but I do check with a laser infrared gun on the oil filter, cam housing and lower case/oil drain plug. Never see 200 deg. Also check header temperature for each cylinder for any major variance. Best, Mark

Driving at a good clip without going below 3k makes a big difference. It’s nice when it just works out. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |
