quick question, deleting an oil cooler would have more chances of a spun bearing or anything hurt wise on the motor ? since my oil cooler lines are leaking i guess might *** well delete them. ive heard its good, then ive heard its bad i think david might know this one

 

Do you only drag race the car?

If you street it, road race it, track it, I'd advise against deleting the oil cooler. If you lines are leaking, why not get new ones? Or get an aftermarket cooler and lines.

 

Certainly not gonna spin a bearing just from deleting the cooler. Hell I've had to run without one for a while as the OEM cooler got pierced.

Constant beating will surely make those oil temps go up and break the oil down quicker vs having a cooler. I say u get new lines as well but to be honest there countless big powered cars that do not run oil coolers

 

actualy i drive my car hard..im probably goin to order a new oil cooler kit might *** well

 

You could waste money ordering an entire new kit, or just order the material's to do a nice AN style line for the stock cooler.

 

I have lines if you want them. I just replaced my cooler and have factory non leaking lines tucked under a bench. PM me if you're interested. I'm in NC so I can ship them to ya if you want. Later

 

where are they leaking from? if its in the banjo connection you may just consider replacing the crush washers and retorque to spec.

 

was almost 500whp on a dd with no oil cooler and was fine

 

+1 that's exactly what i will do thanks .. i also noticed my oil pan had some leaks on the bottom plate, since i brought this car from boston down to miami ( hell of a ride ) its a bit rusted so i just ordered the oem oil pan from STM and lower tube oil gasket and would like to know if this part that i bought as well is a good choice for the silicone for the oil pan ? thanks

I street my car with no oil cooler..... and I floor it quite a bit.

 

for a while though ? and im probably goin to block it off till next oil change ill replace the lines

 

Why do you guys delete the cooler? What kind of oil temps are you seeing after quite a few WOT runs/hills/track time?

 

Honestly the oil cooler isn't necessary. Watch your temps and be smart about how you drive. Again I was almost 500whp on a dd. I drove everywhere, all the time. Highway pulls, drags, etc and never an issue.

 

get an oil temp gauge and some nice new -an fittings and lines. are they leaking as a cut or from the fittings?

 

the oil cooler whose has some oil on it but i took a glance at it yesterday and i believe its coming from my oil pan ..
