IS oil cooler

Post Sat Aug 12, 2006 10:05 am

How do you fit an oil cooler to an m42 engine? There is a plug on the side of the oil filter housing and another hole where the sensor goes in (both 1/4" BSP thread), can you plum it in through these????? Thanks.

i reckon that's exactly the plan, that's how i was considering doing it to mine anyway - that or carefully drilling and tapping the housing.
im just remembering that you pm'd me the other day, sorry for not replying, have had a hell of a week, i'll have a little read later.
Cheers

Because i'm running high compression and it's a rally car (so its gonna be running at some pretty high temps).
