I have a 1916 vw trike and after its first service they put in a 60 grade oil and the oil cooler blew, could this be the problem or is it the oil releif valve, also its mildly worked and the megadual exhausts are too restrictive anone have a good cheap option so i can open this motor up and let it breathe?

First service - who built it? If they were servicing thier own engine, they should have known what oil to use... Not many engines below about 454ci use 60 oil!
There are several aftrermarket performance exhausts that will be MUCH nicer than the duallies that I have seen on some Trikes

Oztrikes built the trike and they suggested it ( the 60 grade that is), i hear ya about the thickness of the oil . so whats the best to run? and does ya have a name for the best pipes to run?.
