The RPM oil cooler wait is over...

[racerrad8]

Well all of the pieces have finally come together and I have listed the new RPM oil cooler kit on my website.

You can find it here; RPM Oil Cooler Kit

This cooler offers 60% greater cooling capacity as well as a built in thermostatic control which allows the engine to reach operating temperature quicker. It does all of this in the same space as the O.E. cooler. No cutting or trimming of the fairing required, just bolt it on and go.

Here is the photo of the completed kit.


I put this kit together with high quality products. I have used Fragola A/N fittings & hose which are American manufactured parts, I do not want to skimp on quality using offshore hose & fittings which could result in a failure.

Please visit www.RPMracingCa.com for more information.

Thank you, Randy - RPM

Looks good, Randy, and the price seems right.  Interesting cooler design that doesn't use a thermostatic bypass.

Do you think there would be any benefit to installing a check valve to keep it from draining?

Thanks, I have to thank all of the people who help me do the testing and provided my with the feedback needed to make sure it addressed the issues that have been documented over the years.

The internal design by the manufacture allows the cooler to bypass instead of having a thermostatic component in the system that could fail.

Just like the factory cooler, it should not drain. The pressure side is closed and does not allow drain back. If the pressure side stays filled the return side cannot vent and drain, so the cooler stays filled.

Does it matter if it drains?

Isn't it just a circulator; pulling oil from the pan, cooling it, then returning it there? 

IIRC, it's NOT on the engine oil pressure circuit (is it?).

You are correct, it is just for cooling purposes only. But regardless, it should not drain back since the pressure side is holding the oil and not allowing the return side to drain.

Yes the cooler is still available. I don't know if the price has increased from when it was originally offered.

how did everybody fit the oil lines I'm in the process of doing a loose fit right now.

[racerrad8]

The lines can either come together at the center where the factory lines where mounted or some guys cross them.

It doesn't matter, the flow is non-directional through the cooler.
