I have spoken with a few people about 2.4 911 E engine with carbs and so far reccomendation is to go without an oil cooler to start. General concensous is that as long as I dont run the engine too lean it should stay cool enough.

As usual great debate and you have got me reconsidering. Thanks!

The 2.4E is a borderline deal. Your temp gauge
will be your best friend for a while after you have it running.
The good news is that getting a 2.4L too hot isn't a catastrophic occurance (not that you wanna do it more than once) like it can be on a 2.7L due to the Brial cyls not expanding at the rate of the all aluminum jobbies.

Doing an aux oil cooler *right* is spendy. Forgive me if I sound elitest about this, but I don't use second rate parts....even if can get them dirt cheep. I gotta make allowances for my second rate installation (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif). First cabin used parts are a godsend tho (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)
