I have found small oil coolers with a fan for $100, but the electric pumps are expensive. My plan is to either find a cheap electric pump, or try and use the ring gear as a pump. The tricky part about the second option is it's hard to test. Can a cheap fuel pump be used to pump gear oil?
The intent here is to cool the oil and send it to the upper bearings so my 901 lasts behind a V8. |

I am going to use a Tilton pump with internal fan and a Fluidyne oil cooler. The rear trunk will need to be vented. We have used this system in the past with favorable results.
