Obviously, a 3.0-liter SC motor is gonna want an external oil cooler, but what about a 2.4E or S? Will an on-case cooler do the job, or is it iffy?

Also, who is using the right inner fender for the cooler spot on a /6? What size engine are you running and what temperature extremes have you seen?

Thanks!

The 2.2 in Frank runs at 225 when pushed.....180-200 otherwise....with no external cooler and NO engine sheet metal....prolly 140 ish hp.

Manfred runs a 2.0 "S" factory rated at 180 hp....have not had it on the track yet, but stays around 200 w/o a cooler in spirited street driving.

The Rocket, a 3.0 CIS 914 needed both internal and external cooling....on long trips it just kept climbing....at the the track it would climb to 220 and stay there with two coolers.

Red, has a 3.6 which has no internal cooler, has ALWAYS needed two external coolers....
