But, cooling the oil doesn't cool the heads. They are two separate entities and head temps are way more detrimental to engine life than oil temps. Hot oil just loses its life span and rarely kills an engine unless you miss a shift with poor pressure..

The front mounted cooler hurts oil volume and if its not done rightcan cause starvation issues that will stack a #2 rod bearing so fast it'll make your head spin..

I mounted my entire oil system in the rear trunk and used ducted air through an aluminum shroud to get the air through the Setrab cooler. Since the lines are shorter everything is simpler and more compact with the oil system..
