Chaplin, et al,
Mark Dove at Snakebite in Ohio has recommended against using the
oil coolers, at least on the SPF cars. Evidently they have encountered some flow restrictions. Temperature is probably less of a concern than adequate flow on street cars.
I left the hoses connected to the
oil cooler for asthetics, and closed the system by joining the two connectors with a union and tucking the lines into the nose. It can be recooneted easily if needed.
