External Oil Cooler

Post by totallyconfused »

Hi - what bits do you need to fit an external oil cooler to a CT air cooled engine?

I guess you need some way to connect the oil cooler into the existing oil system, do you do this via the oil filter fitting? Is there a kit you can buy for this?

Cheers - Chris.

(apologies if this should be in the the Technical questions, but thought alternative engine fitters might have more ideas about external oil coolers).:wink:

Why?
The oil cooler is prob the one bit that actually works well on a CT... if all tinware etc are in place and oil cooler is clean of debris...

You can use a "sandwich plate" between the filter and case.. then need to find a good place for the oil cooler.. oil pump needs to be in good condition to start pumping long distances...

Thanks for that - any ideas where I can get a "sandwich Plate" from?

I am building a 1776cc engine and want a bit bit of extra cooling for good measure.
