Earl's Cooloers

Hi gang:

Anyone ever use any of Earl's products?  I was thinking of this https://www.jegs.com/i/Earl%27s/361/21000/10002/-1?utm_source=criteo&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=retargeting or something similar.

Yes we have, Earl's and Setrab coolers were a popular choice, years ago. Your link shows a 10AN cooler. A 10AN line is too big for our FJ's.

What I have found is that by the time you add the cost of the cooler along with the cost of AN lines, AN fittings, oil pan fittings, mounting brackets (rubber isolated) and an inline oil thermostat, I was money ahead using RPM's oil cooler kit.

FYI Here is a write up from the Mod. Files on installing a Setrab cooler:  http://www.fjowners.com/index.php?topic=676.0
What is missing from Carey's instructions is the oil thermostat. Proper oil temp. is important.

 I run Earl's coolers on 2 bikes. The quality was better when Earl's was independently owned. They were bought some years back along with, Holley, Mr Gasket etc by a conglomerate and they aren't made as well as they used to be. The Setrab units are high quality.

I always wandered if the OEM coolers had some thermostat?

No they did'nt Folks have fitted them though for the initial warm up.
