Author	Subject: Fitting thermo plate oil cooler
r4ly j Regular Location: bicester Registered: 24 Aug 2008 Posts: 235 Status: Offline	Post #1 I've fitted a 16row mocal cooler to the wallye, have seached but didn't find specific to thermo cooler fitting. Does a thermo plate cooler bleed the same as a normal sandwich plate?

It takes about 4.5 litres to fill the engine, including an empty filter. A 16 row cooler and lines should be around half a litre. ________________________________________ Rich
