GENUINE MOCAL OIL COOLER 5/8 UNIVERSAL FITTING KIT

UNIVERSAL FITMENT

SUITABLE FOR MOST FORD ENGINES 2.0LITRE AND OVER / 5/8bsp OIL COOLERS.

SANDWICH PLATE HAS 3/4UNF OIL FILTER THREAD.

THE KIT CAN BE SUPPLIED WITH OTHER OIL FILTER THREAD SIZES TO SUIT MOST MAKES/TYPES OF ENGINE

PARTS ALSO AVAILABLE SEPARATELY - SEE MY SHOP ITEMS

OIL COOLERS/KITS AND THE FULL MOCAL RANGE AVAILABLE FOR ALL MAKES & MODELS - SEE MY SHOP ITEMS

This is a brand new MOCAL oil cooler universal fitting kit aimed at non-standard cars / engine conversions / installations where an off the shelf kit can not be used. The hose can be cut to length and unions positioned as necessary.

PLEASE MAKE SURE THE HOSE LENGTH AND UNIONS ARE CORRECT FOR YOUR INSTALLATION.

Most engines 2.0litre and over will require 5/8bsp hoses and unions, engines under 2.0litres can use 1/2bsp hoses and unions.

KIT INCLUDES:

FITTING KIT ONLY  - NO OIL COOLER IS INCLUDED.

Rough guide: a 13 row cooler should be adequate to cool most naturally aspirated engines up to around 150bhp (FOR TRACK USE) given an installation with good airflow, after this a larger cooler will be required - please ask.

For road use a 13row cooler is usually adequate for most engines up to approx 200bhp, after this a larger cooler will be required.

For oil coolers please see my shop items

 Exact cooler size required depends upon: the type of use, ambient temperature, spec of the engine (internal friction etc), airflow through the cooler and over the sump.

If you are using your car for any form of track, competition or high performance use then the engine oil will need cooling.

The most common cause of competition / high performance engine failure is loss of oil pressure, as the oil heats up it becomes thinner. This lowers the pressure produced by the pump and increases the oil escape from the bearings lowering the overall pressure further still.

Roughly speaking you need about 10psi of oil pressure per 1000rpm.

e.g. 7000rpm requires 70psi oil pressure

If the pump cannot meet this demand then when the oil is hot/thin engine failure will result - usually in the form of running a crank bearing (death rattle) or throwing a rod through the side of the block!

This is especially important on part worn engines - a cooler/thicker oil will give the oil pump a fighting good chance of meeting the demand.  On a new or part worn engine if the oil pressure is maintained, the engine isnt over revved or over heated there is no reason for failure.

For track, competition or high preformance use a rough target temperature for the oil is around 100degrees C. Over 100C the oil thins out rapidly and therefore drops the pressure.

TURBO SYSTEMS WILL ROCKET THE OIL TEMPERATURE.

In very cold/wet weather over cooling of the oil can be avoided by the addition of a thermostat built into the sandwich plate - £19.99extra.

This fitting kit is designed for motorsport use. NO instuctions are included. (some fitting tips & tightening torques are included)
