I just received the PMS Oil cooler modification tube for altering my 911 cooler to adapt to the 914-6 undercarriage.
No installation information was provided with the part from Patrick so my question to the sage advisors out there is: What length tube should the addition of the PMS tube result in? Then, I assume that a 90 degree AN fitting would be used to make the turn, correct? Any advice would be greatly appreciated prior to me making a modification to my cooler that results in a no-cooler at all condition....

I sent a 911 oil cooler for another engine out to Rich about 2 weeks ago and got it back last week. Having him do it is a great way to go as 911 coolers are much less expensive and easier to find than a real 914-6 cooler.
If you haven't already cleaned down in between the fins, you might want to check. It doesn't take much oil and dust combined to build up a lot of gunk in between the fins and really affect the cooling. I bought a gallon of carb cleaner and one of the large aluminum turkey roasting pans that I formed up around the cooler to make it a little deeper. I used some silicone plugs to keep the cleaner out of the cooler and then soaked one side of the cooler and then the other (even with the pan formed closely around the cooler, the cleaner was only about 2.5" deep). It took about 45 minutes do soak both sides and then I sprayed it off well with the garden hose and then dried it with compressed air and it came out great. Then I sent it out to Rich. He did the mod and pressure tested it. It looks great. |
