Water/oil Cooler

Recommended Posts

Peetypug

i've done a search but cant find anything about it :)

i'm now sorting out the cooling system on my engine

i'm wondering if the oil cooler setup that bolts to the gearbox will fit the 6 engine

if the oil/water cooler wont fit, will the standard oil cooler rad setup fit?

 

thanks

I'm pretty sure that the takeoffs are the same thread so it should fit but i doubt that you'll really need it. The oil shouldnt get above 110C even on track as long as the cooling system is up to scratch and your using a good quality oil.

i've read on here that the 6 engine runs quite hot in the 205 and they are prone to head gaskets due to this (how true that is i dont know)

but thats why i was thinking of using it

it means i wont have to T the lower hose or the top one, meaning i'm less likely to get a leak

also it will put the oil filter in a better spot for changing it as i dont think there will be much room

Not personally running a 6 motor i cant say from my own experience but Matt Holley (thats his forum name on here as well) doesnt run one in his 6 engined 205 and the oil temp gauge is up to about 100-110 on track, which is just about right.
