I have a 6 engine that has been uprated to 2.2 with E cams,the temp gauge keeps edging the red part of the gauge ,I e been told by the guy who rebuilt the engine that I probably need another oil cooler,can you only have these fitted in the front boot space or are there other places in the engine bay that they can be fitted
Hope this makes sense Thanks Brian |

Brian, a 2.2 should not need a remote oil cooler. We have successfully run sixes with as large as 2.4 without another oil cooler. 2.7 and up definately need one when installed in a six.
The problem with installing an oil cooler is that it cuts up the original car a bit, the best place to install where the factory did in the front trunk against the front panel. we have three factory cars here with that arrangement, all have 2.4 or larger engines The ones installed under the trunk floor by the side of the transmission are not very effective as they are right in the midst of the hot exhaust and engine and transmission. If installed they all need an additional fan, more rig up for an original six I would suspect that there is something wrong with the installation to run that hot I have a 6 engine that has been uprated to 2.2 with E cams,the temp gauge keeps edging the red part of the gauge ,I e been told by the guy who rebuilt the engine that I probably need another oil cooler,can you only have these fitted in the front boot space or are there other places in the engine bay that they can be fitted Hope this makes sense Thanks Brian |
