Hi Steve.=C2=A0 My experience is yes, you need a cooler.=C2=A0 What is your=
 oil temperature running?=C2=A0 Even with a good 19 row cooler, I had oil t=
emps up around 240 degrees.=C2=A0 I don't think you want it to get much hig=
her than that for an extended period of time (like a full race).=C2=A0 Thin=
k of it this way, how much time will it take you to install your cooler now=
?=C2=A0 How much time (and money) will it cost to rebuild your engine if yo=
ur oil gets too hot and you spin a rod bearing (or worse)?

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.


~STEVE
