[Fot] oil cooler

[Mark Pendergrass]

Don; My TR4 came with a 19 row cooler mounted directly at the left side 
headlight opening, it measured 10 in. wide by 5.5 in tall. It got hammerd by 
a 1/4 nut on track, ( still looking for that car by the way) It was from 
Earls Performance Plumbing . part # 41900. Then i installed a Mocal part 
#OC1163-8 cooler, it was a 16 row that measured 6 in. wide by 5 in tall, it 
did'nt last the three day Rose Cup weekend and developed an internal leak on 
track which made me very popular that day.Sunday morn. I installed a Setrab 
part #50-619-7612 , 19 row measuring 10.in wide by 5.5 in tall. The 
difference in oil temp was about 20 degrees between the larger ones verses 
the smaller one. 190degrees vrs.210. Temp. over the 3 day weekend was in the 
70s and air was pretty thick so gauge accordingly.The Mocal unit needed 
special adapta-fittings to utilize 10an fittings so be ware, they interfered 
with my hood a little bit.These measurements given are the actual cooling 
area, allow for bracketry. Bigger units cost app.165.00 smaller unit 135.00. 
These figures seemed the same for a 13.5 cr. and a 11.0 cr. engine running 
up to 7200 rpm and 6800rpm. Hope this info. helps. Mark Pendy tr4 #65
