Oil cooler install
5 Attachment(s)
My oil cooler finally came in today. It took me about an hour to install. After I installed the cooler I added oil with the provided syringe. I cranked it up to prime the oil lines and checked the oil level and added a little more oil. I took a ride down the road and came back and check the oil again. A check valve is not needed if you connect the line out from the engine to the bottom of the cooler. I let it set for an hour and the oil didn't drain back to the engine. I'll have to shorten the line with the filter when I get a chance.
Addition info: I used a piece of 1" angle iron using the two motor mount bolts at the bottom . After I mounted I realized I could flip the cooler mounting bracket and will set the cooler further back and the oil lines will be behind the angle iron. I'll take care of that and post pictures when I get to it. |
Looks good! Is that one from mj? I'll get one eventually.
On a side note, if you tweak that wire retainer for your front brake line, you can get it to go inside of both of those ridges on that rubber insulator. It takes some judicious bending and squeezing with pliers. My OCD made me do it! |

Yup, To the point it's cheaper 1 at a time with shipping than in bulk as China post small items are pretty cheap to ship. I got 6 of the valve cover coolers in with the stacked plate coolers and shipping alone was $129 usd. My wholesale price with shipping in bulk is more than you paid. Still waiting on seeing if they can come up with an UNCRIMPED end on one hose but haven't heard back. On your routing, Not sure it make a lot of difference on a bike but on cars, Trucks, Heavy equipment and hydraulic systems the hot (out) line always goes to the top as heat rises and if it went into the bottom the cooler/radiator efficiency is compromised. Just food for thought.......... |

Just send the units out with a check valve that way when installing the check valve the length could be adjusted then.:tup: |
I like the mounting plate solution, very clean and it looks almost factory.
One of these is definitely in my plans. I honestly would love to be able to buy the kit without the lines. Just the cooler, filter, check valve, and block for the filter screen port. I have about 20ft of 3/8ths 316L Stainless hard line coil and a mountain of -6 AN fittings I bought for another project I would love to plumb this up with. |
