How I will build my own oil cooler for my TE511

I'm not sure running the hose to the roof will tell you the effective pressure, because we don't know (for sure) if there will be any back pressure in the return?? Or will you have your return plumbed and tee off to the roof line? If that's the case, why not tee in a pressure gauge instead of the "roof line". In either case, why not just use a pressure gauge and skip the roof line?

I hope that JB Weld holds, because there is not much left of those rivets. I guess if it pumps oil as desired, you could look into a better fastener. Maybe reverse countersink the holes and install some reduced head countersunk titanium Hi-Locks. Good luck!

I might need to look into thoughs rivets after the test , thanks for the link !

I'm thinking a heat exchanger that splices into the left radiator hose . Cooled coolant returning to the radiator pump would be most ideal to me and well protected from rocks and tree limbs. Yes that is a Tinken idea

Test 1 , flow

Test 2 , flow to above filler cap

You go dude!!!

Yep, that's why it's pulsating/spurting.

Maybe , I am running 2 vents. Here is my breather line


I will do a test running line to the filler cap next .

You guys are correct . I ran a clear line to the filler cap and oil movement was very marginal . Not worth running to a cooler

On the up side I was able to verify that loads of oil circulate threw the cover. In test one I pumped 200cc in a very short time. Time for my back up plan..... Now I want to turn the clutch cover its self into a heat exchanger .

I like a heat sink on the clutch cover and maybe a fan. Cool, or cooler.

Sorry you had to pay $40 for a drill bit. I changed the vents for sale on the Zipty website to include stepped drill bits for our cost of the bit (roughly 6 dollars). I'm happy to hear installation went well. If I may make a suggestion, it would be to cap off your original case vent, you really don't want blow by gasses to pass through that location. Also, the hole in your case cover would be an excellent place to return cooled breather oil instead of the fill cap.

The return hole works really good . I let several feet of clear hose fill with oil and when I lifted it vertically it went right in ! Lol.... Since I have the cover all modded now I might wrap some brass tubbing around the cover and divert a radiator line to it.. JB weld is a great conductor of heat. Pleanty more JB weld on the next go around ! Ha ha

Crude, good ole Bako' crude!
