Default oil cooler

is it any use fitting a oil coolant rad on a 250bhp plus 1.9 zvh conversion so i can keep the oil at a really steady temp because i think it might be getting a bit to hot

ive got farenheit gauge. if i just go down the road 10 minutes it goes up to about 170 and when i stop it still keeps rising as it should but i dont when it will stop ive been told not to let it go to 220 max. i went in the m1 the other week ,water and oil temp and pressure read 150 w 160 o and 60 p when i stopped everythink over heated ,maybe if the water is cooler the oil might be.
cheers micky

Ok,160 degree Fahreinheit is what youre getting for oil temp,yes??That is ok and nothing to worry about.As an example i get 257 degree Fahreinheit/125 degree Celsius when out on track,so does Tim Butcher is his Norris Motorsport S2,so you can see youre way below what us lads get on track.I think raycov youre not trying hard enough,LOL .Regards Micky
