oil cooler
« on: May 19, 2013, 06:35:15 PM »
I finally fitted an oil cooler. I still have to get a cover for the end of the pipe to neaten it up. XBR's run hot, tuned XBR's run even hotter and ruin oil very quickly.

The oil cooler has lowered the temps ok, although I had a problem of oil being blown out the breather, fixed that just by adding a longer pipe. I have also fitted a new hose for top end oiling. Its starting to look like a plumbers nightmare
