Only a slightly theoretical question at this point – is there anything inherently different, or different in practice, between the oil cooling set up needed to keep a 2.7 L flat six cool versus the same displacement 2.7 L big Type 4?

It would seem like the flat six would have smaller displacement per cylinder and that might have less heat and more cooling fin surface area?

Kind of an interesting topic I think / hope.

Happy Friday.
