That was me. I added the Moss cooler and the air shovel, temp dropped =
10 degrees. I live in southern California.

I believe the ideal temperature range for oil is between 230 and 250 =
degrees so perhaps you should take your oil's temperature after a good =
run to see if an oil cooler is indicated. There is such a thing as oil =
being too cool as one of the things we want to happen is for oil to get =
warm enough--above 212--to cook off any water that may have formed from =
condensation.=20
=20
Without a hole in the shroud I doubt that the oil cooler would do very =
much cooling though someone recently posted a picture of a sheet metal =
"shovel" that mounts just beneath the shroud to hopefully duct air up to =
an oil cooler.

My nephew=E2=80=99s BJ8 came with a boot full of mixed blessings from =
its PO. Amongst all the manuals and stuff were two boxes containing an =
oil cooler and mounting kit. NOS.(Actually, these items dated back quite =
a while=E2=80=A62 or 3 POs back).
So, he gave them to me as he wasn=E2=80=99t remotely interested in =
fitting them. I took them back to the UK and determined that I might fit =
the cooler =E2=80=9Cone day=E2=80=9D. Well, as the car is up on a stand =
with the radiator out, it seems that the day may have arrived. Minimal =
amount of work compared to having to do it from scratch? Now:-
1. For someone who lives in a temperate climate and who seldom goes all =
that fast in his Healey, how much benefit is there in a cooler?
2. The Denis Welch brackets look pretty good. Fit onto the lower =
radiator mounts. Designed for their cooler but I think mine can be =
shoehorned in.
Has anyone tried these brackets?
How easy/hard to fit?
3. I will not be cutting any holes. The cooler would sit in front of the =
radiator in line with the lower mounts.=20
Is it a waste of time to put the cooler in there without a dedicated =
hole?
Will I gain as much heat by blocking some airflow to the radiator as I =
lose with the cooler?
4. Seems like an oil cooler may just be a waste of effort???
=20
Any thoughts?
Simon
