Question On The Oil Cooler??

[JUSTAV6]

Can I Take The Oil Cooler Off Without Messing Anything Up?? & Will It Hurt Anything Not Running It? & What Is The Best Way?
Thanks For The Help,

as long as you connect the inlet line to the outlet line so it can make the loop, it will be okay. What will probably happen is the hotter oil will drop in pressure, particularly at idle by 2-3#.

An alternative is to simply remove the oil cooler adapter and then you won't have to loop the lines together. If you are running a biggie oil filter adapter, this will put you back to using a stock type oil filter, tho.

I have never run one and do see low oil pressure at idle after the car is hot as SWOOD has stated. I removed the oil cooler adapter and just popped on a stock style FRAM filter.

I do have the lifter bores "scribed" for more oil flow to the cam which probably doesn't help either.

No problems thus far..... however if you race the car for long periods of time (road race).... you probably want one.

I have read that the GM engineers added an oil cooler for people would potentially would used their cars to tow!

Ok, Now If I Remove The Adapter Will I Have Do Use Ant Diff Pil Filter Or The Same One?? And Do I Have To Do Anything Else,,
The Reson I'm Doing This Is I Got A Four Core Rad From A Buddy That His Moter Blew On Him And I Been Trying To Flush The Oil Cooler Out But It Still Has Sh*t In It,
Thanks For The Good Info Steve
