Cold Oil into Hot Engine from Oil Cooler
Hi All,
A couple of questions:
1) I will be installing a 427 All Alloy Engine (351Z Ford block) into my car and was contemplating if it was necessary to install an oil cooler (Probably a Mocal 235x 19 Row or what fits and it the largest). Hence the questions is it prudent and if so, what size are people installing, and
2) I am interested to know if cold oil suddenly circulates in a hot and high revving engine would this cause much of an issue. I ask this as I figure if I had an oil cooler on thermostat control, the first time the thermostat opens up it would allow "cold" oil that has sat inside in the oil cooler to hit the bearings.
Initial thoughts are:
I would re-route the oil using a sandwich plate at the oil filter (I would be using a solenoid pressure actuated Accumulator teed in the circuit near the sandwich plate oil inlet with a one way check valve just upstream) with a separate in line thermostat.
Oil will likely be 20W50 as I live in Brisbane, Queensland if that is relevant. |
