I have a couple of questions regarding oil coolers - if anybody can help please?

1) Does it matter which way round the sandwich plate points? I think I can get more room for oil hose access if it's round at 45 degrees or straight up than I can with it pointing straight down. Does this matter?

2) the replacement thread I bought (to go into the block, that the sandwich plate bolt then attaches to) doesn't thread in as far as the old one did. How much is "enough"?

Thanks

wondered the same about the angles too

interesting you say about keeping the heat exchanger, how long does it take the oil to get up to temp without it?

And if you are tight on space use a renault oil filter, as they're half the size of the 306 one

I've seen both used on CUP and R2 spec 106's and C2's, i.e standard heat exchanger and additional oil cooler, its in the official build books for them too.

that's 200-225+ bhp N/A 1600 TU's


I wasn't sure if there was quite enough space, but from Ben's comment there must be, is it a standard size filter?
