I have made the swap in my "S" with a 2001 TLR motor. Now which oil cooler should I use? Has any one tapped and threaded the "R" cases for the "S" banjo oil cooler lines? If so, tell me more. The TLS set up looks more effiecent to me.
Why wont the TLR oil cooler work on the 97 TLS??:coocoobikepilot said:The only downside is that a TLR cooler will not fit a 97 TLS engine:banghead
Prolonged use of a car engine in conditions where the oil cannot reach its correct working temperature will cause sludge formation and crankcase oil dilution, leading to excessive wear especially in the cylinder bores. Optimum engine power will only be delivered at correct temperatures. The elimination of drag in engines caused by cold oil is a most important consideration, especially with a racing engine, revving the engine without a load will not put much heat into the oil and devices for preheating the oil may not be available.
It is therefore desirable to control of the oil flow through the cooler by a thermostatic device, we call an oilstat, set to divert oil to the cooler at 80ÂşC (although a wide range of settings is available for special applications). This is the minimum temperature required to evaporate and dispel contaminating substances.
As a practicle matter, Its not obvious to me how you'd get both to work at the same time without hindering the function of one or the other (thinking about that restrictor jet...):Obx-459 said:...would there be any benifit to running both coolers - it gets really F'ing hot over here in the summers?
