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.
TIA

Yes, I believe it does as the engine fan moves air - at least on a 6. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) But I think the 4 is the same.

Engine running at higher revs = more combustion - airflow? Dependent on ambient temperature. I don't think on a hot day you are running any cooler... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

When you're stuck in traffic, the problem isn't ambient air temperature, it's the heat radiating off the hot asphalt.
