KV6 Engine Oil Cooler - Is it actually required?
My 75 2.5 V6 has the original type oil cooler bolted to the front of the sump. As these are a known weak point, I want to remove it altogether.
Is an engine oil cooler actually required on the KV6 or is it a "belt and braces" measure? Either way, I'm going to remove it as its just another possible coolant/oil mixing point. If its absolutely required (which I don't think it is), I'll replace it with a bar and fin type generic oil cooler. That way, there is no coolant involved and therefore no chance of it escaping into the engine oil.
