After 43 years, is it time to place an original oil cooler to lower engine temperature? Which brand? 1974 2.0 with carbonators.
Thanks  |

Just because? No.
Is it running hot? Drop the motor, pull the top tins off the motor and clean 43 years of crud/leaves/etc off the fins and oil cooler. And if you really wanna go all in, ditch the single center carb and go with stock FI or dual IDF/HPMX/DRLA carbs. |

And if you really wanna go all in, ditch the single center carb and go with stock FI or dual IDF/HPMX/DRLA carbs. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Do you know it is running hot? Do you have an oil temp gauge ? I had a 1.8 that was running hot. Added an external cooler which brought down the temps. When the engine failed due to stripped teeth on the cam gear I found the original cooler was on the top with oil sludge. Only fix it if it is broken. |
