Hi Steve.=C2=A0 My experience is yes, you need a cooler.=C2=A0 What is your=

Subject: [Fot] Oil cooler yes or no?
=20
Do you run an oil cooler on your racing Triumph?
I=E2=80=99m having a tough time getting access to the hoses on the oil cool=
er adapter plate, it=E2=80=99s such a tight fit and I forgot to attach them=
before installing the engine.
It=E2=80=99s a huge pain to take off the oil filter plate with the motor in=
stalled!
Wondering if the oil cooler is even necessary. I race in California where i=
t is over 90 degrees some of the time.
