I would like to put a oil cooler on my car. Is there any way to mount the lines off the oil filter so I dont have to remove the engine? I want to retain the factory cooler and add another cooler under the engine cover. I have a engine lid that has 32 small louvers stamped in it to allow more air to come thru to help the heat build up. This is not a race car but the oil temp needs to come doen when I drive for several hours.

Another point is that it is a very GOOD idea to get a new temp gauge & sender. The little VDO "Cockpit" series ones sold by HPH, Pelican etc. are pretty decent.
The 30 year old number-less stock center console gauges really leave you wondering. The ones I had on my cars moved enough where I could tell they were working, but who knows WTF actual temperature that was supposed to correspond to??? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) The only problem is that once you get a numbered temp gauge, you'll freak out the first few times you see how hot the -4 engines get in hard/summer driving (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) I figure that's why the factory didn't include numbers in the first place (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |
