Did you replace the oil squirter bolts? Since it's not shimmed, your pressures are ok, but a bit low for a full flow system. Make sure the return from the cooler is plumbed to the center fitting on the block adapter (the NA stud is the feed to the cylinders). Mixing the fittings up on the...

Kenny - is your oil pump relief valve shimmed? Getting precise readings from the stock gauge is problematic - check at the stock gauge sensor location with a mechanical gauge. Check and make sure all hoses are routed correctly - I assume you are using a NA stud with the PermaCool adapter?

That should work nicely for most applications ;) For extended track use, you may have to dedicate both coolers (hooked up in parallel) to the oil. If you have them stacked in the airflow, the oil cooler should be in the front. To check for a specific oil fill quantity, fill till the oil is at...

The larger cooler are space prohibitive (installing wise) as well. Setrab is a good cooler - take a look at B&M. The size you posted should work.

This is interesting since RP uses the most common synthetic base stock (PAO) you see in the high quality oils...the same base stock German Castrol utilizes. The difference is in the add pack. Think about this for a minute - if RP contained additives that would cause a turbo to fail, would it...

You are correct - wrong section - moved to General. Concerning the coolant system stop-leak products - use them if you really want to trash all your coolant passages. Including the block. How about forgetting a quick fix that will just induce other problems and fix or replace the heater core.

As big as you can fit - the T-stat will handle flow through the cooler for proper temps. I prefer the stacked plate design...more efficient for the size, better flow, and less susceptible to FOD.

7mturbo - I highly suggest you ignore this post. Supraflymk3 - Get your facts straight before you post in the Tech Sections again.

Sure it's possible...is it smart to do so running a USDM ECU, well, that's a different story ;)

And we don't have the time to leave this thread open. Don't do this again.

Not sure what "ATF trick" you are referring to, but running ATF through the intake (like the old school Chevy guys did) will not work.

#6 could easily be due to a HG - coolant in the cylinder will steam clean it. If you put Seafoam in the oil, all you will accomplish is to reduce it's viscosity. Don't do it. The Mopar cleaner is good, but I have always used it to clean piston tops with the head removed. You could try to...

Sometimes I wonder why I even post.

I've used Summit twist-tight hose/fittings and never had a problem with it...I did use the 3 barb AN type fitting vs the 2 barb NPT. The Aeroquip fitting you linked to looks like a std brass barb...it's not push-lock...there is a difference. Aeroquip makes good stuff - you won't go wrong...

#1 - This is an English language site. Post in English or don't post at all. #2 - This is the tech section. Question is completely inappropriate here. Thread closed.

19-20 psi at idle is too low???? WTF over. Chris - if you are using the stock filter head to pressurize the cooler circuit, there is no way it (or the line to/from) can be responsible for a 20 psi idle pressure - the cooler relief valve doesn't open till ~40 psi. A blocked filter won't do it...

Excuse me? Care to explain exactly how he can "increase your idle to about 750-800"? Step #1 - Check for ECU codes.

Brand new MHG - never been run. Tell me, what are the odds the viton will separate from the metal layers? I have a novel idea - take the head off and take a look. The cylinders must be honed anyway and it just might be a good idea to assemble the engine in the correct sequence with the correct...

You do not need clamps with push lock hose/fittings. Waste of time and $$$.

Cooling system: - The stock ECU looks for coolant temps between 76 and 100 deg C for normal ops. Below that range you are in warm-up enrichment - above the ECU pulls timing. - Your radiator should have the thermal capacity you need. I suspect the fan (lower temp to 85 deg) or you do not have...
