[Healeys] Overheating Healey

[Len and/or Marge Hartnett]

Bob:  I installed an oil cooler many years ago.  It was not an 'official' 
model but the largest I could install in front of the radiator without 
blocking the radiator too much.  I installed temp sending units in the oil 
pan for engine oil temp and in the return line from the cooler.  Temperature 
drop was 5 degrees.  No noticable difference on the Healey temp gauge.  For 
me and my installation, not worth the effort.  Took it all out.
