quick question about the benefits of an oil cooler.
although i no longer have any cooling issues, i'd planned on fitting a
small oil cooler under the assumption that the oil tends to cool the
lower part of the engine while the coolant is mainly acting on the
upper part, so although the thermostat should keep the same water
temp, the oil should still be cooler around the crank and bearings.
is this a valid assumption? do you think its worth while?
i was planning on placing it to the left, in front of the radiator,
mounted on the valance behind the grill.
i have the bits already (cooler, hose, oil thermostat and check valve)
so its only a matter of a few hours work. question is - is it worth
my time?
