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 |

I like to put the aux oil cooler in the right rear quarter panel, in the same area as the oil tank (on the opposite side). It take a bit more head scratching, but it's a much simpler way to go, without running 20' of oil line, taking up front trunk space, or putting a cooler above the already warm exhaust.
I'm doing a major resto on a 6 and am using that location. I should be detailing this install in the next couple months. |

I'll be keeping an eye out for that, sounds like a good idea...what engine sizes would that support? 2.7 RS+ spec? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
