Top Mount Oil Cooler

[Val_895]

Has anyone else done this? I thought about it and found this pic of one. I currently have some unknown aftermarket one mounted under the pan which seems ok. And is mounted so so. This sure seems like a space saver and could free up some room for the exhaust I need to build and carburetor intake box.

anyone???

The adapter you see in the photo is one I developed a long time ago and used on my IIL. A copy of the drawing is available in the Sonerai Files, Documentation, & Service Manuals section.

What great info! Thank you.
Sounds like you found this to work very well if you had to mention to tape over some surface area to keep oil temps up.
I like that it’s out of the way in an unused area.
I have a lathe but no mill. But looks like you could do this on a press with the right tooling and patience.

The photo is such a clean setup
I hadn’t even considered fiberglass until now for baffles.

I've always liked that setup too, but wouldn't just one hose from the higher pressure side be better than two?
