TYPE 4 COOLER ON A TYPE 1

Craig Torrens - June 27th, 2003 at 11:32 PM

Is it worth putting a type 4 cooler on a type 1 motor ?
Can you still buy the cooler new?

Would hate to seize my motor with any foreign matter using an unknown secondhand one !!!

Hi Craig,
I've used a type 4 cooler before & didn't really notice the difference. It's a lot of work to modify the doghouse shroud & it sits very close to the fire wall.
I only noticed a difference when I went to an external cooler.
The shroud & the cooler are at Richards if u are still interested.
regards
Jak

PS the Americans seem to swear by it.

You would be better off fittting a remote cooler rather than stuffing round with the type 4.

Dont forget the remote will increase your oil capacity, run it with a thermostat, should be great
