I have a Griffin aluminum radiator in my CR with 408W stroker. It is set up for an automatic in that it has the trans
oil cooler on the passenger side.
Now, would it make sense to run engine
oil through this "cooler" to heat it faster (less dist. and cam gear wear) and cool it when running hard (coolant runs 185*-195* at the hottest)
I've read that keeping mineral
oil below 230* is good and thought this set-up might accomplish that easily without using an external oil cooler (some keep oil too cool)??? It may be that the additional oil heat would cause the engine to run hotter??
Comments & Ideas??
Thanks,
Jack???
