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. |

But, don't forget about the influence of oil cooling. 911 2.7L has piston squirters and much larger oil cooler both on the engine and the 2.7L OEM trombone cooler had lots of oil line to/from the cooler that alllowed for additional oil cooling. While not exactly "squirter's" you can mod the /4 rods to sling/shoot oil to the bottom of the pistons. Oil coolers have been covered to death. Attached image(s) |
