- I recently heard that the stock location for the oil cooler only succeeds in causing turbulence between the cooler and the radiator, limiting the effectiveness of both. I heard that if you mount the

- Never heard that one, though I suppose it's plausible. But I think there's an awful lot of work to be done if you're trying to optimize air flow through the MGB radiator, above and beyond this little

- Speaking of the oil cooler, I read some where that the oil cooler was an option in England. Is this true? If so, I'd like to get a hold of a non-oil-cooler B series engine. It's not that I want my oi

- I suppose that's one way of looking at it. Good luck finding that air-cooled MGB engine, though... Seriously, all you would have to do is rig a bypass, using rigid line (given your abhorrence of hose

- I think that the UK cars just had a hose that went from the rear port to the one on the filter plate, I don't think that there was anything different about the engines. James Nazarian 71 MGB Tourer 7

- The engine does not change. The non-oil cooler equipped cars had a rigid line attached to the oil filter housing by a banjo bolt. The later cars had a short rubber hose in place of the rigid line, a

- There's no difference in the engine. In fact, the RBB cars here didn't normally include an oil cooler. A car with oil cooler has a hose from the port at the rear of the block to the cooler, and anot
