Hello David
I haven't been following this but looking at what you have done I am pleased
that it worked for you. I am unsure what engine you have but when I changed
mine from 80HP to 100 HP as I half expected I immediately encountered oil
cooling problems so fitted a chin inlet and located a larger oil cooler
there removing the one behind the port radiator. This helped but did not
solve the problem. At this point I fitted the 16 row as you have (in
addition to the chin radiator), this solved the oil issue but promptly gave
me water temp problems!
I have now changed the 16 row for an 8 row which has still cured the oil
issue and although the water temp issue is better it is not entirely cured.
I am now considering whether a re- core of the water radiators might help.
Just as a matter of interest I have not fitted firesleeve to any of my oil
lines thinking that this would result in the maximum radiated heat.

Here are a couple of photos of the new 16-row Mocal oil cooler installed on
the back of the port radiator. Works a treat! PS. Glass wrap around exhaust
has now been removed. It was only there as a 'back-up' as new oil cooler is
much closer to the exhaust stub than before, but this hasn't seemed to cause
any problems with the oil cooling.
