do you always weld up the passages for the stock cooler?
because the 4"bore cuts into the galley?
i would like to keep the stock cooler (additional to one mounted into the full flow system)

yes,it has a rod inserted into the oil galley as you cut into it so you cant use the stock cooler at all

cheers richie,uk
is it possible to insert an aluminum pipe to keep the stock cooler?
all my big cc engines were waterboxerbased, but now i have one of these cases too
seems like the case in the pic has the center thrust conversion too. is it a good idea for a street engine?

thatīs an interesting idea - a kind of internal bypass made of 10 mm ID tubing so one can keep the stock oil cooler. Is this even possible?

How about putting the cooler in the stock location and plumb it externally like a normal full flow cooler... cheaper?

My thoughts are that by removing the stock cooler you get more air to the heads, and both sides see the same volume of air with no interuption,with the added mess of fittings and oil lines it would make it even less efficient surely?

I wouldnt think it practical,the oil galley isnt very big and when you sut the case after for the cylinder it cuts quite deep into the rod thats inserted into the oil galley

 Smiley  Depends on which style & brand shroud you are using too Wink 

My preference is a Scat 36hp style with no doghouse but takes late wide fan

i agree with richey get rid of the stock cooler. but there are other purist that would tend to disagree thats fine. we have had great sucsess doing it are way. im not saying a stock cooler couldent be mounted in the stock location. anything can  be achieved by using your nooddels. i gusse what ever tickels your fancy.

big improvement indeed is the cooler behind the fanhousing (doghouse) rather then IN the fanhousing as old(er) setup's. But there is only one way to know > test it Wink

That's what I thought to... I use a stock 30 horse housing with the biggest fan.

Pauter has new lighter rods (530 gramm) . But how would you cut a VW journal to Porsche ? Porsche is smaller !!

It's possible, but you're going to have to keep a close eye on piston to crank clearances and where they are in the cylinders at BDC.
Having said that, the rod/stroke ratio is getting down there ... under 1.61 : 1.
However, and if the comparison can be made, these ratios and even lower are used in V8 engines all day long. For instance, a stock Chevrolet 350 has a rod/stroke ratio of just under 1.64 and a typical 383 is down to 1.52 ... that's low!

What would you be if you didn't even try ... You have to try.

this is how much rist pin was puling out at bdc of a 90 crank with a 5.7 tall deck case the tails on these barrels were alot shorter than our barrels im sure with the correct barrel length you can have full coveredge of the rist pin at bdc thats what i stride for any who. 90 with 5.7 heck yea.  a freind of mine used to run that recipe all the time and loved it.  UD .
