Well, after much procrastination, I have finally had my oil cooler installed. The installation went fine, although I had expected the sandwich plate to come with a spot for the oil temp sensor for the gauges I fitted last week. I guess that was a daft assumption to make, since there was no such hole. In the end, we put the temperature sensor above cylinder 3, making good use of the oil gallery plug I bought 2 or 3 years ago, just in case (OCD much ?), and put a brass tee fitting in the stock oil pressure sensor location so now both OEM and STRI oil pressure sensors are right next to each other. The oil cooler seems to work as advertised, although the hoses are a little less discreet than I had anticipated Stuart.
Right. I think Homeland Security pulled his travel permit, so I had to get a local to take care of it for me.
that's a good thing! (the running joke is dave took like 3 hours to install an oil cooler on a car and he did it wrong lol. yours looks much better)
Those lines are HUGE! They look to be bigger than your cooler, maybe you should put some heatsink fins on the hoses and loose the cooler core.
Better too much than not enough. I know I don't want to risk it. 100psi isn't easy to hold back. Plus engine oil is a somewhat vital thing for an engine. lol
