Factory oil cooler stay or go??

PF52 is the larger oil filter. I believe it holds a 1/2 quart more oil.

Dont remember the cooler maker, However I just ran -10 lines from the factory oil cooler plate to the cooler and back. Blocked off the bypass and made the mount and duct. I need to take an underhood pick. See what I can do.

I am more worried about what is in the actual cooler in the radiator rather than the lines. Its got 20 years of gunk in there that I don't want going back into my new engine.

well you can hot tank it. i sprayed in mine with brake cleaner let it sit poured it out sprayed it again and just powerwash in the holes until it runs clear then blow it out with an air compressor. thats what i did with mine when it was out and worked fine

So you have checked the bearings since? I'll bet you a beer they have skid marks.........

That is why I eliminated mine.

Yes, I have had my engine apart several times........

Anyone else have an oil temp guage??????????

Maybe the factory coolers are just junk.
