The Chevy powered circle burners that use this radiator, are looking to keep
oil temps under 230 to 240 degrees. You are looking to keep it under 200
degrees.
I had a Callies oil to water cooler for a few weekends. It really cools the
oil. It dumps the heat into the water, and gave me water temp problems. I
already had the biggest water radiator I could find, (19" X 31" Griffin double
pass) so I went to three Setrab 13 row oil radiators. These are not in an ideal
situation and I could take one out If I worked on the installation a bit. The
Callies cooler is actually a large oil to air radiator, with a box built around
it to carry the water. I cut off the box, and now use it for an oil to air,
transmission cooler.
