cure for high oil temps?

--- Quote from: north pole racer on August 27, 2012, 10:34:39 am ---i also have a VMS top end oiler. so would you plumb the 920 thru the pan fittings like my current set up or would plumbing it thru the filter side get better results? or does it not matter?

I plumb it  through the filter side.
I do not run a secondary cooler from the pan, just a loop.

knoxracing:
From the rear puck pressure out to the three port oil filter mount. Two ports for pressure in and one port for pressure out, second pressure in comes from the pan.,Pressure out goes through the cooler and back to the rear puck on the motor. I am now using a Russell 651480 tubular trans cooler for the top end cooler. When you use a Fluidyne oil cooler and mount the Russell  tubular cooler as the head cooler it really ccols the oil temps down, pressure is good and the remote filter makes changing the oil a breeze. i weld tabs to the left side motor mount and thats where the filter goes, this is tucked under the exhaust, easy to change filter and protected from damage.

north pole racer:
dennis i`l be getn with you about this oil cooler parts this winter. we only 3 races from done if they dont rain out.

Legends57x:
Dennis,  So where exactly did you mount the Russell 651480 tubular trans cooler without disrupting air flow to the engine?

VMS Motorsports:
Being a heat sink, it wouldnt need the air flow of a traditional cooler, could mount behind the primary cooler?

I still don't agree with the big oil cooler blocking air flow to/around the motor, it is an air cooled motor, with oil cooler assistance... but there are alot of people who have been doing it for longer than I have, with good results, Dennis included.
