Bartman Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 So my LT1 has been running hot for quite a while now. I have a JTR radiator and a Taurus fan, but when it's hot outside like it was this weekend (well over 100 degrees) my engine runs pretty hot. I have A/C as well, but when it gets too hot I can't run it without overheating. So I'm thinking of installing an oil cooler to see if that can bring down my operating temperatures. Hayden makes these sandwich type oil cooler adapter's that go between the oil fiter and the engine which seems like it would be pretty easy solution. Anyone have any expereince with these or any comments in general about running an oil cooler to lower engine temperatures? I don't have an oil temperature gauge, so I don't know what my oil temp's are. Also how big of an oil cooler would I need? I found a few on eBay for LT1's in 9 or 19 row sizes.

Over the Top Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 yes run an oil cooler... there is no reason not to unless you live in a very cold climate. also make sure you have a high flow fan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
