I agree with full flow filtration, but a stock engine would not need
an extra cooler unless perhaps your driving highways in the desert all the
time.  You DONT want to run the engine cooler than it should be, or hotter,
they are designed to expand and have the proper clearances at the proper
temperature, which is why so much engine life is lost when the thermostat is
removed.  10 degree's probably isnt going to have a significant difference
but you do want it to warm up and as quickly as it can.

Hello All,

I fitted a "CB Performance" oil take off adapter plate to my single port
1600 type 3 fast back. Its a half inch alloy plate that fits between the
case and the existing oil cooler. It allows oil to flow to a spin on oil
filter and then in my application to an external 96 plate external oil
cooler. This cooler sits above the gearbox secured to the top body shell.
The filter was mounted inside the compartment for ease of changing.  I also
fitted a small air scoop bolted on to the rear torsion housing to direct air
flow towards the cooler while driving.

I have been extremely happy with the result on my recent 2,500 mile trip.
With the extra cooling and another one and a half litres of oil to my motor,
its a calming situation seeing the motor running well below top temperature
(some 10deg cooler) at sixty miles per hour for some 14 hours of solid
driving! Outside temp was about 30deg cel.

The standard oil pump handles the extra oil and take off lines nicely.

Of course there is some work in raising the motor tin wear that covers the
existing cooler to take the extra height however I was able to do it in a
way so its looks very original!  i intend to fit separating oil connectors
in the lines connecting the cooler/filter so I can easily take out the
motor.  When time permits I will install a similar plate, hoses etc to my
new 1800 twin port for a possible refit to my fastback in the future.

I can give more details should anyone be interested in this conversion.

Regards,

Ross Clarke (Australia)
