Oil cooler/ bike rad
Is there any reason why I couldn't/shouldn't use a motorcycle radiator from a enduro bike that has a cooling fan attached as an extra oil cooler.....
in too deep to quit now....

Re: Oil cooler/ bike rad
I would say no as the oil pressure if working corectly will be 2 bar and above ( mine when cold stisaround 4.5bar) Where as to the cooling system should operate aroud 1 bar, with out knowing what the rad is rated too pressure wise, I would say its not a good idea to use it, also the input and out of the rad may prove problomatic
