The above photo is the doghouse oil cooler after its been sprayed white. I chose white as it is a colour which dissipates heat and so the oil is cooled more efficiently. I now have to bypass it as it cant stand vertical as it is ment to on the engine. The reason being that it will cause too much drag and apparently (as I read on the internet) that cylinder number 3 does not get as cooled as the other ones due to the presence of the oil cooler. The presumed reason is that the air that pases through the oil cooler get heated and then passes over cylinder three. The hot air that passes over that cylinder is obviosly not efficient at cooling.
The next blog will about the process involved in bypassing the oil cooler..
