KEEP THE OIL COOLER OUT OF THE ENGINE BAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Placing the cooler under the engine lid blocks fresh air from entering the engine bay for the cooling fan to disperse- BAD! It also may cool the oil, BUT it radiates the heat from the oil cooler into the engine bay and that elevates the fan inlet temps and that is a guaranteed way to raise head temps... So giving up head temps for reduced oil temps isn't smart, especially when head temps have much more negative impact on the engine than elevated oil temps.the other aspect of increased engine bay temps is reduced power output from the engine- not many people realize the fact that a 10F elevation in carb/engine inlet temp will net a minimum of a 4HP performance loss- engines like cool air! keep ALL heat sources out of the engine bay!!!! Look at any new car, you'll see that the engine air intake is right up front, just above the bumper so the engine does not rob dirty hot air from the engine bay- imagine that. |
