Greetings,
I got the new
oil cooler, and I have my doubts about the size. It will be
easy to fit, but will it cool? The thing is certainly built like a tank,
and it didn't even have any packing in the box. I guess Fluidyne doesn't
figure it needs any special treatment. The tubes do have nice
turbulator fins inside, so I have no doubt that it will be far more efficient
than the evap core was. Will it be twice as efficient??? I guess
I'll find out. Specs follow.
