Oil cooler fan question
hi
Is there any way to test the function of the oil cooler fan? What temp or where on the gauge would the fan turn on? I'm not over heating but I am wondering if it's working. Thanks for the help. |

The connection to the fan is activated by a thermal switch on the oil cooler at the top front. If you pull the wire and ground it, the fan will start up.
I want to say it starts to work at about 230* but it's been awhile. |

Probably right at 230 which is way too warm to start working in my opinion.
If it fails to work as tested, you can replace it with an adjustable T-stat that you set yourself. Elephant racing sells them. It ranges from 160 degrees f to 230 or so. I would set it to come on at 200-210 degrees to help keep temps more in line.
