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 |

The engine tin seals tend to shrink with age and go hard,yours aren't bad enough to cause your issue.
Have you checked your gauge/ sender to confirm you are actual overheating? I made a point of calibrating mine with other gauges and senders...got the same result,no point in have gauges if they are unknown or don't read correctly. Have you tested your thermostat for correct operation,these don't fail often but can,you could well have limited oil flow through your oil cooler ,I checked mine as per a Pelican forum article. Sometime ago 1 member on here had overheating issues because he had 4 cyl heater valves reason I mentioned it in a previous reply and I notice you have heat exchangers so these need to be right ones or modify them to work. |
