Title: Oil cooler sizing
Post by: gaz g40 on November 11, 2013, 04:52:11 PM
Before i used to use a 13 row oil cooler and was wondering if i could get away with a 10 row instead my cars still charged with the usual 1341 and big valve head any opinions?

I think a 13 row is thought to be fairly ideal a G40.
Do you have an oil temp. gauge to monitor your current oil temperature?

a 10 row should do you if placed in good air flow, 13 is ideal but it might just do you on a 1.3
